There are disciplines that you need for working remotely that don't come into play at the office. The office is the most common way to work so some issues with productivity are muted by the fact that the boss saw you there working and knew you weren't just goofing off. If you are out of the office, many bosses wonder if you are actually working. That said, there are people working in offices that get very little accomplished. Everyone is different, but I think there are some ideas that allow home working to be as productive or more than office work. One is that you need the proper setup and environment to do good work. For many people, that is a separate space with the equipment setup that allows for work. If you are working on the kitchen table, you might have a problem concentrating as people eat their cereal. Another difficulty can be all the little issues that pop up that auto-magically get taken care of by office managers and other office staff. You order your own supplies, answer your own calls, make your own coffee, etc. I work at home at least one day a week and it is great, but there I'm still trying to get my setup fleshed out so it is as productive as the office. Some tasks are no different from home to office. Others are more complicated by being away. Most of these are not related to software development though. (Many of us who do CFML development wear multiple hats.) I think I would be very happy working at home full time. -- LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/roger-austin/8/a4/60 Twitter: http://twitter.com/RogerTheGeek Blog: http://rogerthegeek.wordpress.com/ http://www.misshunt.com/ Home of the Clean/Dirty Magnet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:345571 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
