Most of us who had careers outside the home before we became moms probably don't get it until we try to apply the skills we acquired in the workplace to the home office... and discover that the relative lack of structure (i.e., with children around, your days are less predictable) wreaks havoc with your well-defined to-do list.

It's true that working at home will sometimes shorten or lengthen workings hours. But the benefit of being close to your loved ones is an advantage.

The hardest thing about working from home is to stop working!
