Discuss workdad's answer to: What are the advantages and disadvantages of working at home opposed to working within a job environment?

Hi Freckles_2010,    advantages

Not driving to work which can be two fold, the time it takes to get to work and back the cost of running a car fuel depreciation of your vehicle.

Not being away from wife or hasband and children so much and for so long a time.

Tax deductions for some water, power, house expenses insurance

land line phone and cell if used for work

computer costs and printer ect

the time facter is a big consideration

all so you chose to work when you want so long as you put in the effert to do what is needed

disadvantages :If you are looking after children at the same time orangizing time for them to let you do your work in peace and quite, learn or aquire good disapline with your time or you may have to

hire someone to look after the children while you work, this may be only part of the day so you get your work done and can spend time with the children afterwards .

You probiblly will need to get away from home some times but this can be done as a family

If you are single you need good work habits work an hour and a half- take ½ an hour off or something like that.

If possiable setup a office so you can shut the door on your work and it is safe from little people

sycologiclly it will help seperate your work from home which is a good thing.
