I usually work from home one day a week. The computer desk is upstairs in the spare bedroom. I maintain defined times for work, and don't work outside those times. Limits/boundaries help.
I guess the reason I started the once-a-week telecommute is that it allows me to have a day with some quiet time, sort-of -- no coworkers popping in for a chat, even if I do have to answer email. I'm so busy running around on the weekend that it's nice to have a day by myself.
During last week's ice storm, both K and I were home; he spent the day downstairs on the couch watching TV while I worked, and it wasn't the same.
