I work from home with my own business and it definitely has it's pros and cons just like anything else. I tend to be a type A personality so for me working from home can get a bit unbalanced and unhealthy.

I am a workaholic as is so working from home and having constant access to work lines and my work computer usually means I am constantly forcing myself to shut it down. Now that I have a family it has become a constant challenge and I really feel having more hours in the day is a fabulous idea

On the flip side as Medusa pointed out my home is immaculate, my family is well tended to, I choose my hours and project I want to take on, and I have the freedom to be at the mercy of my own self which I love.

Advice to others would be excellent time management, having a dedicated space within the home, choosing "hours" to work so you can avoid burnout and an unbalanced life, don't forget to give yourself a lunch break and get dressed in the morning. For me I found not getting up and getting dressed made me sluggish and a bit depressed/more isolated. Oh and maintain a healthy social life because working from home is a solitary thing for the most part even with video conferencing and business calls.
