What matters now is what I heard last week at a seminar: ROWE, or results oriented work environment. It doesn't matter where you work, whether a shed or a coffee shop or a bench in a museum, it is what you produce that matters. Once management figures this out then the problem goes away.<br />Lloyd Alterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07321036757365862624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35485673.post-5488279027934854652012-09-24T16:04:20.653+01:002012-09-24T16:04:20.653+01:00The issue of 'always-on' technology and de...The issue of 'always-on' technology and dealing with our compulsive and obsessive relation to it and that of homeworking are two separate issues and the two are being confused in the BBC article.<br /><br />Those of us who work effectively from home have learned to distinguish and separate the two roles.

They had all found that the dining room table didn't give them enough protection from the rest of the family,so they bought a dedicated garden office.
