Working from home is not the cake-walk many people think it is as it does take considerable discipline. @Lorna :: That is what drives me nuts as I spend a small fortune in gas, tolls and maintenance on my car with a 65 mile trip each way to/from work. Lately the commute has been killing me so I will be trying to make the telecommuting more permanent. @betshopboy :: Thanks for sharing your feedback. The points that you mention are very true and are a few of things that can make or break working from home for some people. @Kelvin :: You make a great point about your mentality influencing how productive you will be at home.

Having a relax atmosphere could work against you in terms of productivitiy, so self-discipline is a key here. Flexibility of tele-commuting is really a double-edged sword. Having flexibility blurred the line of a work-life balance. I am commenting in my capacity as a salaried employee who commutes daily to work in office. Saving cost and time on commuting to and fro office is definitely a plus point.

No gas, no lunch, no beers after work . . . it adds up. I think one of the best parts of working from home is that you spend so much less money.

I can do the stuff at home if I take the hardware (cell phone) home but I can't always do that if I am sharing hardware with other people. I think it depends on your mentality. Sometimes I stay home because I have other things scheduled. In that case, I usually get not so much done, since my mind is not there. And sometimes, I stay home because I need to focus on a project and don't want distractions from co-workers. So it depends a lot on my mentality and the reason for staying home.
