I worked remotely for a year, from home and a couple of coffee shops. It certainly made me a calmer person, and keeping myself away from mundane office conversations (and mundane tasks) refreshed my senses and added to my happiness. I lived alone in a flat in a nice part of London and regularly visited the gym and played tennis, which provided enough social interaction for me, in addition to a few weddings and birthdays dotted throughout the year. I built https://usebx.com https://usebx.com during this year, with the help of a couple of contractors, who also worked remotely. I now do have an office, but still work remotely most days, and encourage my employees to do the same. I'll only go into the office if a client wants to visit. The set up works rather well. The one thing I struggled with initially was routine - I could easily code till 5am, and sleep till 2pm, then not be able to get into a good sleep, work or social routine for a week. Now I force myself to finish at a reasonable time so that I can be continually productive over time, not just productive for that one day, while enjoying other aspects of life as well.
