Are you juggling a work and home life?
Working from home may seem almost like an impossible ideal for some of us who long for a lie-in and a work life where the only authoritarian orders to answer to are those from your inner voice demanding an increased caffeine intake.
Basing your business at home offers more benefits beyond being your own boss. For example, those with family responsibilities can reap the rewards of being home before bedtime and remove some of the burdens of paying for childcare. Those who don't have children can revel in their newly defined rush hour, which now describes a short walk from their bedroom to their desk, rather than a clammy commute from Clapham to Kings Cross.
However, the dream of operating an enterprise from your dining table raises a series of dilemmas. For example, how to do you define where the office ends and home begins?
Although working from home does mean a work life free from office politics and interruptions, this idyllic environment can also become isolated. With nobody around to keep an eye out (or even laugh at your jokes), it could be tough to stay focused enough to stay on track and steer clear of Twitter.
