the problem with working at home is that i feel compelled to work.

i mean, at the office, 2/3 of "working" is just being there. a steady stream of people drop by my office with questions, concerns, issues, decision points. plus - there are emails to answer and meetings to attend. there's not a lot of heads-down work.

which is why i am at home - to facilitate the heads-downness.

the pro side is increased productivity through enhanced focus. the con side is increased productivity through enhanced focus. no seriously, the con is that i feel compelled to produce a concrete deliverable. my work at the office produces soft deliverables such as guiding a meeting or directing a coworker or supplying information to another department. concrete deliverables are hard.
