Extending Commute times...

My kids are less of a distraction than my colleagues.

IME I get far more done at home than from work. Partly that's because my working day is just longer: I generally spend half the saved commuting time on work and half on play. If I need to work on a complex piece of analysis I can just keep my head down for as long as I need to concentrate, knowing that I'm not going to be asked to help/if I want a coffee/can come to a meeting/where a colleague is.

Sometimes you simply need to be in the office. For example today we had someone over from the US and it would have defied the whole point to be at home. I normally spend about a third of my time working from home. I could probably up that to 2/3rds for much of the year.

There is the counter arguement that some would want to be paid more for working at home as they no longer got a break from DWs and DKs.....
