I've worked at home both full time and now part time. I agree with others that you need to have a dedicated space that is treated as such by your family members. I think the type of job you have goes a long way to how hard it is to stay connected. When I had my 3D rendering business I felt very isolated. The good part in that was that once I set a render to calculate I have about 6 hours to kill so I would go out to the driving range or things like that. Now that I do remote work part-time (1/2 of each month) I split things up. Sometime I work on our home office, sometimes by the pool and then sometimes at Starbucks. I don't miss the contact with people because I set all my meetings for when I'm in Calgary and do most of the drawing/specification work when I am down south.
