We've worked from home for 7 years now. It's been good in many ways and bad in many ways. The positives are obvious.. but

One frustration we have is our families assume that we don't actually work when we're at home so we should be at their disposal any time. We work more hours than any of our family members but they think we live leisurely. Don't get that!!!

We had several years where we worked 7 days a week 16 hours a day and got depressed, ate too much, never had any fun. A time warp happens at your computer. The day goes by and you've missed it! Years go by and you don't mark them or even remember them!!!

Last year we got healthy and set boundries for our work. We schedule exercise and fun as though it's mandatory so we don't go fall back into old habits.
Mentally it's a much better place.
