For work at home professionals, the nature of our “workplace” can be . . . well, a barrier. Traditional work relationships are based on manning a desk or cubicle in an office. Colleagues pool resources to produce, sell and maintain a product or service. When you work at home or on the go, “out of sight, out of mind” can easily prevail. Whether you are a home-based entrepreneur or a telecommuter, you don’t want to be forgotten by clients or colleagues.

“Live/Work housing offers end to commuter blues.” I recently saw this headline in the local business journal. As you can imagine, I got a big chuckle out of it. As a veteran virtual worker, I know better. If you work from home 3 or more days a week, you have probably become familiar a distinctive set of challenges I call the work at home blues or WAH. WAH or waaaaah! as I say it, refers to the unproductive work habits commonly cultivated by the isolation and detachment that remote workers experience when working from home.
