I think some of you hit on the big drawbacks of working at home. There are some steps that people really need to follow to make it work.

- Setting boundaries. Make it clear that when you're working in your home office you're considered working and disturbances should be limited.

- Setting boundaries. Your home is your home and just because you live in it doesn't mean you should work 24/7. I had a very wise manager who said he has a 69 rule. He doesn't take calls or check email from 6 to 9 at night...ever. His motivation is to stay married.

- Office setup. You need to have a really good functional office space. You don't need a $6000 desk, but something that gives you all of the space you need. Also, you need things setup ergonomically and have good peripherals for your PC.

In the end, your company still needs face to face meetings. Even if you're remote, this pretty much has to happen. If its not, then they really don't know what they're doing.
- Get out as much as you need. If you are someone who needs more contact than you get at home go out for lunch. Network with people and meet others for lunch. Exercise at lunch.
