A big mistake that people make when starting to work from home is not getting up at a certain time every morning and not getting dressed. Starting your day as if you were "going to work" really makes a difference.

The biggest mistake most unhappy work-at-home professionals make is duplicating all the same things they hated at the office in their homes.

Failing to treat the home office as a regular job has been classified as a "mistake" primarily by those who work with and for corporate clients. It's important to fit into the general corporate culture if those are the people you work with... but if not, trying to replicate the straight-laced and rigid structure of a job might not be helpful at all.

Just so you know the other side of the story. But EBR is 100% right - don't get all excited about the "work in your pyjamas" idea. Get up, shower, get dressed.

It is become a dark town full of trouble, there is no ease in its streets, beauty has left it and the old songs are gone." - Lord Dunsany, The Messengers
