I can certainly visit this forum exclusively from home, but I can't manage my investments properly without visiting e*Trade a few times during each work week, while the market is open. I have never been a day-trader, but I do spend a total of about 20 min. per week to see if I need to take any urgent action. Since I typically work from about 6:00 to 5:00 five days a week, I don't feel terribly guillty about this.
