Should you "dress for success" when working from home?
Nope. What a waste!

Can you work from home and have a healthy work-life balance?
Yes, in fact, your opportunity for a balanced life improves.

Don't risk the wrong kind of viral internet fame. Avoid the pitfalls and learn how to optimize your WFH environment to boost your productivity.

This book is for anyone who works from home, or is considering working from home. Primarily it's aimed at those of you for whom working from home is new, or daunting. However, even if you're a WFH veteran, I hope you'll find some new ideas to improve your current experience.

This book is not about setting up a remote working company, and it's certainly not one of those "How to make $1733 a week working from home" books. Rather it contains practical instructions for working from home productively, while keeping you out of trouble.

After 17 years of working remotely, I've made plenty of mistakes and learnt how to overcome challenges to achieve great results, working with entirely remote teams.
