http://www.northwestvoice.com/home/Blog/sunnica/26529 As many of you know, I work from home on Mondays.&nbsp; How do you feel about working at home?&nbsp; Do you feel like you'd be successful?&nbsp; Take too many breaks?&nbsp; A long lunch?&nbsp; Maybe even a nap?? I think the main concern most employers have is that an employee will slack off.&nbsp; If given the freedom of being outside the watchful eye of the office, perhaps employers think that we won't do what is required for the job. Not a chance!&nbsp; I got more accomplished today than I would have working in a busy office with phone calls and visitors.&nbsp; I am here in the defense of all homeworkers!&nbsp; I am fortunate enough to work for an employer who treasures family, so they like to make whatever concessions they can to keep their employees happy.&nbsp; When The Voice hired me as the editor, I was told that I could work from home (yay!), and so I do.&nbsp; And, boy, let me tell you...&nbsp; Today after I took my daughter to school, I sat down to work...and I don't think I got up except to get a drink of water!&nbsp; I worked both Fri. and Sat. night at the Jazz Festival, so I thought I'd work a little today and take the day off tomorrow.&nbsp; GUESS WHAT?&nbsp; No way, baby!&nbsp; It's the finale of the prom issue this week...&nbsp; I am having to assemble and collect and post all the prom pics that have been coming in the past couple of weeks&nbsp; Thankfully, Debbie has been helping me! Speaking of the Jazz Festival...did anyone else go?&nbsp; It was a blast! I highly recommend that you go next year! &nbsp; As many of you know, I work from home on Mondays.&nbsp; How do you feel about working at home?&nbsp; Do you feel like you'd be successful?&nbsp; Take too many breaks?&nbsp; A long lunch?&nbsp; Maybe even a nap??

No distractions really, and once I'm into working on something, I won't stop.
