Working from home will boost your productivity. When you can control your environment, it's easy to meet your goals. Office distractions like excessive heat, gossiping colleagues or harsh lighting won't undermine your performance. When your employer sees how much better you perform when left to your own devices, you may be given the chance to telecommute several days each week. This will be an answer to a prayer. Being able to work independently will make your job much easier. Suddenly, you'll have more energy for fun.
