That video from point one doesn't seem to be working for me (Atlanta, GA). Here is another link that should work. [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗I've worked from home on and off for the last 10 years. The best bit for me is definitely the freedom and watching your kids grow up. I'm currently working on the sofa, dog curled up by my feet, watching TV :) Most days I take a bath at 2pm. Rock n roll! (Funny sketch about working from home. Don't click if you get easily offended [VIDEO] )
Read original comment ↗In art form, for the aspiring home-worker: [LINK] [VIDEO] It's amazing how efficient working from home can become. What's even more amazing is when you realize how much time goes wasted in an office environment due to constant interruptions. The downside is that you end up with a lot of empty time to fill in. Word of advice: Get a second part-time job/education/daily activity. Have a cuckoo clock on your PC (helps to bring you back to reality)
Read original comment ↗I wonder if we'll see desk spaces with large screens showing real-time feeds at the end, simulating a co-worker adjacent to you but without the need to be in the office. Benefit of some social side, but able to be paused if you're concentrating. Incidentally, here's That Mitchell and Webb Look on working from home: [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗I wonder if you'll have this experience: [VIDEO] (It's a sketch from a comedy show called That Mitchell and Webb Look.) I may or may not have...
Read original comment ↗Working remotely is hard enough. Working for yourself is even harder. A good manager should be making contact at task-appropriate intervals. Keeping organised and going shouldn't be too different from office life. But when you're alone and it's your responsibility to keep yourself motivated... Base urges (and laziness) creep in. Takes a while to find your efficiency. This may be relevant. [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗This reminded me of this Mitchell and Webb strip "Working from home" [VIDEO] The premise is that you could end up 'celebrating' your business away and learning how to manage your 'celebrating' to only do 'it' when milestones have been reached. SFW but would suggest headphones if in an open plan office due to the topic.
Read original comment ↗> The next step is taming your pocket monster. This really meant something quite different to me. I think sex (in whatever form) is an issue that needs to be taken semi-seriously within this context. Professors Mitchell and Webb have good advice: [VIDEO]
