How to tell if you'd be a productive telecommuter and tips for making it work.

Many of us dream about working from home. But is it as easy as it looks? There are some people who know instinctively that it won’t work for them, because there are too many distractions and things they’d rather be doing – and would do while at home. If that’s how you feel, or if you’re uncertain about whether working from home is right for you, here are a few things to consider.



First, you need to find a job you could do from home. There are many possibilities out there, and your skills may translate to some of them. Or you could decide to launch an entirely new career. Another consideration is whether you want to do the work part time or full time. Are you doing this as a way to have more time to raise children? Do you have a long commute? There are many reasons you may want to take this path.
