(Hmmm... Do I have a secret reader over at The Wall Street Journal, I wonder? <Grin>)
Actually, The Wall Street Journal article deals more with what it calls "the psychological weight of bringing your work home with you" - a problem that home workers obviously face every day.
Personally, I think that the blurred line between work and home is one of the greatest challenges that a home-based worker has to face, whether they are telecommuting for someone else or self-employed.
In fact, I've felt the psychological weight of not have a break between work and home myself. That's one reason why I've recently decided to try to complete work during normal business hours and on Saturday mornings only.
Sure, the evenings are there if I run into a bind, but I think it's healthier to schedule that evening break if I can manage it.
What about you? Have you felt the lines between home and work blur since you've started working from home?
If so, how do you deal with it?
Leave a comment and let us know.
Call me weird. I just don't see a downside to working at home.
