The problem with working from home is not getting no work done because you're too busy drinking beer and playing xbox. It's sticking to an 8 hr work day instead of working all day around the clock. It's putting the mouse down and spending time with your family. It's stopping yourself from returning to work after dinner.

Yeah, I've basically had to institute a 'no working after dinner' rule for myself. If I have extra tasks to get done, I get up early - sometimes very early - but an early morning start feels far less intrusive on my family life than working in the evening. (It's an easier rule for me to keep than it would be for some, since I'm a morning person, and the evening is a low-productivity time for me.)

It's self-discipline in all aspects of life, which can be acquired gradually (I've been working 100% from home for the last 2 years without issues).

Whenever I work from home I make sure that I set a cutoff time or clear stopping point near the end of what I want to be my "work day". Then I remove myself from my computer, take a walk or cook dinner or watch a movie or do anything that isn't code/work. Then if I have other work to do at night (for my job or for my own projects) it feels separate.
