I've worked from home since 2003. I really enjoy it, especially now that I have a little girl.
Unfortunately, the added focus you get from working in an office is lost to possibility of being able to do anything anytime. And what's bad about that, is that you tell yourself on certain tasks that "you can do it anytime, and I'll just post to HN now".
An ordered todo list is the most important tool you have when working from home.

- dpcan 15y agoI've done the same. Been at home since 2001 and now I'm even using a mini white board to create a list of things to do before 2pm. Some of those things are on the master to-do list, others are just the things off the top of my head, but if I set a mid-day deadline, there's hope that all will get finished.
- ed209 15y agoI got myself a magnetic whiteboard and some magnetic A4 sheets that I cut into strips. Each one has a to-do on it so I can change the order / move them around easily. I like the idea of doing the tasks before 2pm. Might try that.
