I’m lucky in that I don’t need more hours per day, although I do have to schedule work retreats (DH takes time off work or I go to my folks’ home locally) for large projects.

We homeschool, too, and I have found that most people are respectful of the fact that I will not answer the phone during the day. Caller ID is invaluable. I have a secret code with family, friends and important clients that if they absolutely need to get in touch with me, they will call the house phone and then my Blackberry.

One other thing I do is check email once, and not more than twice, a day. (Again, I know this is impossible for some.) I’m “unavailable” when I work, period. I use the Blackberry to do social emails, check emails when out and about and waiting at kids’ activities, running errands, etc.

I don’t miss the office or coworkers at all. I get plenty of social interaction with other adults through kids’ stuff, church, family, etc.

The biggest problem I’ve found working on the web from home? Beware the “you don’t really work because you work at home” syndrome. I even catch myself saying “I’m a stay at home mom”. I’m not. I’m an entrepreneur and a teacher, and I just so happen to do it out of my residence. :-)

One of the biggest concerns against web work I come across is a lack of social interaction with other workers. Ironically tho I think i have much stronger ties to the people I currently work with online, as we all have to make a much bigger effort to communicate effectively.

For me a problem is spending too much time in front of a screen. The invention of a screen-free computer is most welcome ;)

All that said, I think “Web Workers” need a to develop the skill of time management and discipline more so than most. But nobody ever achieved growth without pain, did they?
