Of course even with some stragegies and good management skills to manage the children while working from home, life is not perfect. There are times when the children are extra cranky, or when they are in their difficult phases, or whatever, that causes working from home to be quite challenging. Below are a few disadvantages that I found after working from home for some time:
1) More distractions than the office environment at times
2) Do not get to socialize. Your world becomes very small and you loose touch with the outside world.
3) If you are working on something that needs very high concentration and total silence, it might be tough to find those pockets of apportunities where the environment will meet your criteria
4) You might end up working longer hours, as there is no clear separation between working time and at home time anymore.
5)If you are not the disciplined type, then you might find that it is very hard for you to get anything done.
Actually, I think the benefits out weighs the disadvantages. I will share the advantages in my next post.
