I've been a teleworker since 1989. Then, I had a phone, micro-Vax and a UUCP connection. Sounds primitive, but I and a few others were the proving grounds for today's remote and mobile work force. Not everyone can work well at home. It's hard to separate home from work; especially because my company has a global presence, my work "day" begins when I rise and ends when I retire. Make certain that you take breaks, make time for family and personal interests. Get a dog! My dog and office mate is actually a big help. His bio and exercise needs keep me from working inappropriately or harmfully long stretches without breaks; in fact, he brags that he's the reason I don't have repetitive motion, back or neck injuries.
