Reading this is so interesting for me – since I am considered to start working from home after the summer – but I can not imagine right now any negative aspects ….hmm

Congrats on getting the plug on LifeHacker!

I have to agree that it is important to get out of the house on a regular basis. With me teaching kids as young as five, I find I need to make a point of connecting with adults so I don’t start sounding like my students.

One thing I’d like to add to your list is to get involved with your community or your industry. I serve on the board for our local branch of the Alberta Registered Music Teachers’ Association. There are networking groups, community associations and other groups that can give home-based entrepreneurs an opportunity to get out the house, network and make a difference.

I find that having an extracurricular activity that has nothing to do with business helps keep me sane.

Having a furry office assistant (my dog Maestro) who insists on exercising every day also helps.

Skykid, it’s entirely possible to work from home without ever feeling isolated. But I know a few people do run into isolation issues and so I wanted to help them out with a few pointers. Don’t take this as a sign that everyone who works from home feels isolated. In fact, some people thrive on time away from others or get so wrapped up in the excitement of their work that they never get down!
