Obviously, working from home is not for everybody. With my business and career coaching clients, I listen to my intuition and often suggest they either find a new  job or change their thoughts and behaviors to create a better environment at the old job.

Here are some Disadvantages of Working from Home...

We can...

• No longer use our commuting time as our think time or time to wind down and relax.

• Have difficulty getting motivated without someone to impress.

• Overeat because no one's noticing.

• Work too little because of our flexible schedule.

• Have a hard time functioning without the hustle and bustle of an office.

• Feel deprived of the socializing and the office parties.

• Feel distracted at home by things like a pile of dishes and a full trash can.

• Live in a home with inadequate work space or inappropriate furniture.

• Need the 8-hour escape from a troubled marriage or a difficult child.

• Find setting goals or developing a business plan complicated.

• Ignore personal hygiene.

• Thrive on office politics and gossip.

• Be tempted to work longer hours and neglect our personal life.

• Miss close relationships with co-workers.

• Get overwhelmed in "trying to do it all," like childcare, work, cooking and house cleaning.

• Live in an environment with too many domestic distractions.

• Feel deprived not being around others because we are an extrovert.

• Suffer from Isolation Disease.
