Good morning all! I hope you're well. I decided to work from home today. I've been fortunate since the first of the year because I have such tremendous support from my company. In fact, I haven't worked from home this much in years.

Granted, my drive to Bellevue is 30 miles one way. This can take a minimum of 45 minutes and is often tiring. I also have the luxury of being all by myself most of the time. My wife works and the kids are grown and gone. How does working from home work for you?

I think the key is to minimize distractions. I could see how it might be difficult if you still have kids at home, for example. I also try and break up my day and get out of the house. Today I'll probably work out this morning and then come back and make phone calls, send emails, etc. This evening I'm meeting a couple buddies for a beer in Renton.

How often do you work from home? I keep hearing about the dawn of the virtual office. Personally, I like to have my cake and eat it too! Most of the time I head into out corporate office (probably 4 out of the 5 days a week I work). I find the camaraderie and support to be helpful.

But there are days where I just don't feel like being around the noise and chaos no matter how positive it might be. That's when I opt to work from home. So tell me your story. How productive are you working from home? I think if a person is disciplined enough it can work great. Have a fantastic day!
