Yep, by all reports, it is. But it's also amazingly productive. Without the distractions of their workplace, employees are able to complete tasks more quickly and accurately, while saving themselves the stress of commuting and dressing up. Still, telecommuting isn't for everybody.
Some people miss the interaction at the office or have trouble focusing on their work at home.
Others find that their work doesn't transfer well via fax and modem. Most workers who telecommute split their schedule between home and office, and the constant juggling of files and materials can cause stress too. If you answered yes to these questions, you're a good candidate for telecommuting. If you're not sure, keep a log at work for the next four weeks. In it, write down each task as you perform it.
