Not true. I’ve worked from home and it’s tougher than going to the office itself. You’ve got to remain focused and you’re easily distracted by sidebar issues. It’s not the paradise that many people think it is.
That’s what I have run into myself.
Yes. My work is based on hitting milestones, so it doesn't matter where I am or what I'm doing, I have to hit the milestones. My computer set-up at home isn't as good as at work, plus there are more distractions at home. OTOH, I spend 3 hours/day commuting, so that's a lot of wasted time. I think my optimum setup would be working at home 2-3 days per week. A lot of people in our company work off-site, and we use GoToMeeting a lot.
