Working one day a week at his just completed beach house will make Stewart a telecommuter in a more conventional sense. He'll be able to leave for the coast at 5 o'clock on Thursday, walk on the beach with his wife, and fall asleep to the sound of the waves. Friday morning, he'll walk downstairs to his office, log in and go to work. His work station includes a computer, fax machine and two phone lines. I'm going to spend Friday working.
Telecommuting is the ticket.
I have not been in the office on a Saturday more than once in the last three years. In 1987, he decided it was time to build a home office, get a computer, and get computer literate. He works from home one Saturday a month on average. If he's working on a big project, he works at home every Saturday until the project's done. Telecommuting also has improved Grant's life after-hours.
