When most people decide they want to work online they do so to get out of their day job. With all the perks, I guess the catch-22 is that working from home isn't much different from the job you're currently working.
There are a few things you need a plan for, such as your work routine, social life as well as how you handle sick days and vacation.
If you’re tied to your home office as brutally as you were tied to your day job, it might be a bit more convenient because you can work in your jammies, but it’s still miserable.
Figure out what you’ll do if you are terribly sick and can’t even crawl to your computer for two weeks. If your spouse is hospitalized and you spend a month by their side.
