This is a lot of good advice, much of which also should be applied in a shared office as well. I have been remote working for 7 of the last 10 years. Here's my list (in addition to what the author mentioned). Many of the PROs have two sides... We will start with the assumption that you are ethical and honest (and ultimately, as productive as you should be). PRO-remote 1. When something non-work needs to happen, it's so much easier to make it happen. Maybe it's the one day of the week when the rain stops, and you can go enjoy sunshine at a cafe. Or maybe the morning powder report says 12" of fresh powder! BAM! 2. So, so much time saved not commuting. And if an office commute is particularly dreadful (gridlock traffic, hot crowded subway, whatever), your quality of life improves a ton by avoiding it. 3. Pets, especially dogs, don't have to be sad and go crazy (literally) at home for 9 hours while you're gone. 4. If your partner also works from home, you have more opportunities for moments of time together (for whatever you fancy). That's valuable. 5. You can work from almost anywhere with quality internet. This can be a huge benefit! CON 1. Your work is _always_ there. You can end up judging your non-work time against whether it was worth it, or if you should have been working (more) to get more done. This is a huge problem for me, and I frankly haven't solved it. I work 25-50% more than I should now. 2. If your partner also works from home... 24x7 with someone can eventually be a problem. A large home with lots of rooms helps, but going out solo with laptop is sometimes necessary. 3. Pets (or partner!) :). You can feel guilty for not giving attention when someone needs it - because you're busy working as you probably should be. 4. Working from anywhere (especially someplace exotic) - isn't much fun if you're actually really busy working. Then you feel you're missing out. Further, it can make you re-think what's important in life (and make you want to quit everything and live a nomad life - which maybe isn't a CON?) For me, I'll take remote. Everything considered, my quality of life is much better working remotely.
