    I've been working from home full time for nearly 2 1/2 years now for direct clients and agencies and it's nice when I work for agencies as sometimes they want me on-site which is good for getting out of the house but generally I much prefer being at home.

    No 1 1/2 hour commute each way, no lunch and travel expense and just generally much less hassle.

    Staying motivated is no harder than sitting in an office and right from the beginning I decided to set myself "normal" office hours which I stick to and take the same breaks I would if I worked in an office.

    I'd say the hardest part is if you're stuck for inspiration or need a second set of eyes on a project just to get past a sticking point, in an office you can normally just have a conversation with a colleague and come up with new ideas. If you're at home you don't generally have that option.
