I've worked at home for getting close to 1.5 years now. I sometimes want to kick people who say they are jealous. In the end I would have a tough time going back to an office setting unless forced to. It takes discipline to not grab one of the guitars behind me, or run to the living room and play some PS3 since no one is watching. Two things that have helped me are my windows and dogs. I work in the front corner of my house, I've positioned my desk so that I look out the front windows. I live on a somewhat busy street so it helps to see things moving outside. Then my dogs, they are pretty routine with their breaks. I'll take them out in the backyard and throw the tennis ball with them, this keeps me from thinking about work for a little bit. I also make sure to grab lunch with my coworkers once a week, plus my wife can tell when I've been 'locked up' too long so she will take me out. As danudey said you always have this feeling like you should be working all the time. I work a LOT more now that I work at home. It's very tough to sometimes just go to the computer and check out the news on the weekend without wanting to tinker on work. The guilty feeling comes and goes when you have really productive days. It probably helps a lot that I am married to force me to stick to a schedule and it will keep work as work and home as home. I also have a kid on the way, but it will present the challenge of now working at home with a wife and kid. Depending on how well it works or not I might move to a co-working facility in town.
