What do you think of it?
I've been working for myself for a year now, from home.
Pros: not having to go to meetings, no commute time, working away on one thing without being disturbed/diverted, and the main thing: seeing the family a lot more
Cons: whole days where I don't go outside; lack of hombres/loneliness (when family is out and about/at school); the nature of the work, though more interesting than some jobs I've done, is conveyor-belt-like in its requirement and that's something that doesn't look like changing; no travel; doing your own taxes and other admin; and the MAIN thing: self-discipline
On the whole, I found the whole loneliness/cabin-fever thing quite hard at the start but now I don't really mind it at all. Or at least, it's better than the alternative. It helps to try and keep busy and to actually get some substantial work done each day.
