I don't share the author's view either. I work very well from home. In fact I have never been so productive - it is not at all distracting - rather the opposite. When I worked in an office I noticed that people spent most of their time chatting to their colleagues and, to be honest, getting very little done. It would be interesting to read other people's views on this matter.

Perhaps, Caitlin, you are choosing not the wrong home, but the wrong reason for working from home. In my case it was because it was the only way to be properly on call for customers in almost every time zone from Melbourne to San Diego.

In other words, if duty to the customer comes first and home is the best choice for performing that duty, then work from home. If home is simply being offered as a comfier alternative to the office, then whoever is doing the offering probably shouldn't be. Then again, if you're watching YouTube at home, you're at least not entangling other staff in conversation around the water cooler!

I have spent the last two years working from home in Bucharest. I have enjoyed every minute of being close to my wonderful family whilst helping to build a successful business from scratch in the process.

I appreciate that this style of work is not for everyone and find it intriguing that the author does not share my view. I suppose it takes all types to make the world.

I have listened to many Radio 4 interviews of and have read many articles by successful authors and have come to realise that, as in the fields of accounts, legislature, economics, politics and religion, there are as many views as practising individuals.

On another level, it could be argued that this diversity of view and culture creates the magic weave that comprises the complexity of life and yet this same diversity is also responsible for wars, crimes of violence and widespread poverty.

Such is the essence of life on our planet these days. Could it also be a consequence of the IT&C revolution?
