As a person that used to work from home but is now in the office, I am trying to "convince" the people there to allow me to work from home but finding it hard to "find the right words" especially since it's only my 2nd or 3rd week. It's also a contract job, but it's hard when you realize that you can do most of the work from home as opposed to at the end of an end cap with tons of people walking past you... The journey of cubicle freedom... *sigh* This post was encouraging.

I work alot better, and I stay more focused. I've got a home office which really makes me feel like I'm in an office, when I'm really not in one. The only downside is that meet all of your clients and coffeshops or simular, and that you feel anti social sometimes. I feel that working from home is the best choice for me.

Besides putting together a professional proposal that shows you are prepared, an important point to highlight is that you are capable to succeed at it. It can be a big plus if you attach a resume-type document that shows what you have achieved for the company. Juliet Hi

While I'm at home, I don't find I'm as productive - I constantly have distractions and all kinds of things I want to do. I also find that I don't work in areas I normally use for relaxation (i.e. my room) and so it's very difficult for me to switch my mood and work. I like keeping my life separate, and having to go somewhere keeps me in a routine. Although I can understand why it'll work for some people. I’m got to agree with Rondal.

However, I did find that working remotely (at coffee shops, parks, etc) boosted not only my productivity, but the quality of my design work.
