I am work from home person since the last 6 years. While there are many benefits like flexibility, cut down on travel , increased productivity(supposedly!) , there are many disadvantages as well. Some of them being, becoming a social recluse, increase in laziness quotient and so on.
Any body having my experience???
otherwise also what do you think????

What exactly do you do? Could you please share more about your work? Perhaps, I may like to work like you in spite of the disadvantages.

Well, I work in a MNC but my team is located in another city . So, it gives me the flexibility to stay at home and do a normal day time job. I have a kid too. I cook my lunch during the "office" hours. All this becomes easy to handle only because I have a very helpful nanny.
While working , I shut the door and continue in a "normal" environment. Then go out and interact with my kid and her nanny.
But all this means that I dont have any social interaction and I have become a loner.
so there are pros and cons of everything

Yes, I feel that I lack of disciplines sometimes, do what I like, and I will go out and find a regular job to do. Sometimes to ease my mind thinking at home will do me good.

I work from home. The advantage is I set my own hours, choose my work, and I'm the boss of me. The disadvantage is that the income earned is not a steady paycheck. I still have a social life.

I have not found a work from home job. I think a work from home job is good you don't have to spend money on commute. You can take breaks whenever you want and flexibility, freedom.
