Have been happily working mostly from home for over a decade. I think three things are really important: - have a separate comfortable working environment - have a routine - no kids I don't think it matters what equipment you use as long as you like it and you yourself can separate when you are "in the office" and when not. I have a separate room, but separate computers worked for me too. Routine usually requires some experimentation and negotiation with your company and your family, but once you find something that works, make it a routine. Kids is a short-hand for consistent presence of difficult to control and to remove interruptions. Some of it can be ameliorated with a noise cancelling headset, but they tend to become uncomfortable before end of workday so are really only something to get you through occasional interruptions (like neighbour drilling or work on the street).
