Working from home can be pretty amazing. When I'm talking to people and it comes up in the conversation that I have a home office I get a lot of comments about how lucky I am.

Yes, I am lucky and consider myself very fortunate to be able to choose the location of where I want to work, not have to deal with commuting through traffic every day, being able to work in my pj’s etc

But I want to talk about some other things that people don’t really talk about when it comes to working from home. It’s not all sunshine and lollypops
