Productive home working for this Enigin Developer!

One day a week Enigin encourage me to work from home, and I love it!

Why is this? Well, home working has the following benefits:

  1. No commuting - This saves me a round trip of 2 hours a day!
  2. No interruptions - People are less likely to interrupt you when you’re not in the office and only ask you urgent questions.
  3. Flexible working - Although I do put in a full 7/8 hour day when i’m working from home, I don’t necessarily work 9 - 5. I find that breaking the working day up into 3 hour periods with breaks between helps to stay motivated.
  4. Relaxing Environment - Sometimes an office environment is counter-productive; telephones ringing, people chatting, meetings. Being completely in charge of my own environment means that I can set my own mood!
The Enigin staff stay in touch all day via Skype and Email. It is very rare to actually receive any telephone calls when i’m working from home. People know that I will be in the office tomorrow, so non-urgent in-person conversations can wait for 24 hours.
Do you have any comments about home working? If so, then let me know!
