I like to work. But I don’t like working in an office. It feels too official. Working from home makes me feel like it’s my choice to work, rather than a decision made for me by an employer or circumstance. With new technologies that let you email and fax via the Internet, sometimes we don’t really need to go into the office.

Some people like the sociality of working in an office. They like chatting at the copy machine. They like figuring out new ways to waste their time until they can clock out. But if you’re considering making the move to a job from home, here’s some reasons to consider it:

You don’t have to do the whole, I’m getting up, taking a shower, making myself look professional thing when you wake up. You can get out of bed, poor yourself some granola with skim milk and just start working. And if you like work this isn’t a bad thing. You can get a jump start, end early and do what you like.

No commuting!

You can do your laundry gradually during the day while you work. You don’t have to spend precious Saturdays or evenings doing it.

You can actually be there when the important package is delivered or the cable guy finally shows up.

Of course, it takes a certain discipline to work from home. It might be easier for some to be distracted. But if you can swing it and still be productive, I highly recommend it.
