I telecommute. It used to be for 3 days a week. Now it is everyday. We stay in constant contact via email. Any support calls can be forwarded here where I have a dedicated phone line for business purposes only. I have fax and access to the entire company source pool via networking from home.

Also, I have a separate place for "work" where that is exactly what it is. When I am there, no one bothers me, the same as going to the office. I set myself strict work times for starting time and unfortunately I for me, I tend to work longer hours because it is handy and I don't have to drive home. If I am in the middle of a problem I can work until I get to a good stopping point.

It makes me more productive not being bothered with distractions and my employer notices that.
