More and more people... even some in light manufacturing... are finding their job can more easily be done from home.
Sometimes I can be more productive at home but collaboration suffers. Face to face is a very effective and efficient way to communicate.
For me the ideal situation is to be able to work at home when I really need to put my head down and grind something out. I do not have a home office though so there are too many distractions if there are other people around the house during the day. I've spent a day at the library before instead.
Late evenings after everyone else has gone to bed can be my most productive time.
