I'd be afraid it could also *really* back fire. As in "you just decided not to come into the office for two weeks without telling anybody!!!??" I'd say trying that would take some serious stones. If this has worked for anybody, please weigh in! You’re right, Hank, if successful, that could work. I’d be afraid it could also *really* back fire.

If this has worked for anybody, please weigh in!

Maybe a great way to start working from home is just to do it on a trail basis for a week or two without telling anyone, and then take the idea to your boss with proof that it actually could and has worked. Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission. I really like how Tim Ferriss addressed this issue in his book, “Four Hour Work Week”.

Imagine, though, having a day or two a week to *just* focus on getting things done, and consolidating meetings to the remaining days. This seems to work incredibly well for the people I've seen pull it off!

I interact a lot with clients on a personal level, and the live interaction of a design team is unfortunately lost through the Web. I think, in the end, a combination of working from home and working from the office is about the best I can strive for.
