I love it. assume you've had a late snooze, 2 poncy coffees and a bacon sarn? Then you have to fit in a nice walk round the park, lunch in an internet providing cafe and shopping for dinner.
Pretty much wot wang said, although clearly why would I spend money on lunch in a cafe with internet when I can lunch at my fully internet equipped house for a fraction of the cash and then have a pleasing after lunch siesta as the sun streams into the front bedroom.
Spent the first 18 months of it usually working at the dining room table just on laptop until eventually I thought my spine was going to crumble. Now properly set up with proper office desk, adjustable chair, multiple screens and fook off big printer.
Pretty much the same as my home office set-up Buzz. I also have a weekly routine. If I have to go out for meetings etc. it is Monday to Wednesday. Thursdays and Fridays I stay right here. Maybe the pub at lunchtime..
All the better. Get yourself set up properly, with a big desk and lots of monitors (or one big one like a 27in. iMac or similar) and a proper sound system. Spend good money on a proper chair.
I don't need to commute into a London office Monday to Friday anymore. People can always reach me if they need to, seven days a week. The way it is these days, I have taken several phone calls on a Sunday morning after the papers come out.
Screens? Yes I have three of them. One is a Dell Alienware set-up. If the phone rings I have to say hold on a minute, I'm busy chasing Russian MiGs over the North Pole.
my main issue is that if you are a woman and “at home” working, the whole world assumes you are a housewife with nothing better to do than wait in for tradesmen, deliveries etc. No one values your time.
I have two computers just running the usual boring stuff. How and why a building or bridge collapsed, its what I mostly do these days.
Not as much fun as plugging the Alienware computer into a Marshall stack and feeling, though the floorboards, the sound of the F-22 Raptor I'm flying on the screen.

wear what you want, listen to what you want
No firewall, potter about the garden
sign for parcels, let the plumber in
escape all the randoms popping into your office to ask stupid questions

You need to set it up properly guys.
Upside for me is I have tonnes more energy and time without the commuting.
Downside is I miss being able to bounce ideas off people. Even if they are all shitheads.

Also, get yourself a NAD D 3020 and suitable speakers and hook it up to your desktop via USB.
I've had this thing on my desk for a few years now and it is fooking great. I just felt like telling someone.

I have three screens when WFH: the tele for Netflix, my personal laptop for pron, and my work computer for work.
Changed up sitting at the dining room table for lying on the sofa. And occasionally in bed.
Love it.
