Working from home takes some getting used to. If doing something boring it can be very easy to find a reason to make yet another cuppa.
Working from home recently I realised something wasn't quite right when I would hear the postmans steps in the morning and I would run up to the letterbox, kneel down on my knees with the letterbox open looking out waiting for the mail to be posted. Luckily the postman knows me (kind of) and hopefully doesn't think I'm a complete loon. But he was quite surprised when he opened the out letterbox and heard a loud "moooorrniing".
I now work more from office!

I think what happened yesterday is that there was nothing in my diary to sync me up. I am all alone here, working from home, and with only the odd contact with clients; one day merges with the rest. It is not healthy. Let this be a warning to anyone that thinks working from home would be nice - it drives you mental.

How long does it take - I think I am predisposed to being mental anyway.
How long have you been at home?

Originally posted by alreadypacked View PostI am currently working from home, my problem is I don't seam to switch off at night or the weekend. I find myself going out to relax, before I would come home to relax.
I don't think I am going mental yet, how long does it take HAB?
