I find it to be one of the most important things to get right. Otherwise everything bleeds into everything else and it feels like you are working ALL the time.
Have proper lunch breaks too.
I don't have to be in 9-5, but I put in 2-3 solid hours in the morning. I have put MItch into day care 2 days per week, he really loves it and I was worried he wouldn't get enough time outside the house as I don't really have to leave at all. I also get most of the weeks work done in those 2 days. It was just too hard sometimes, if I had an extended phone call, or composing workshops and poor Mitch got a bit sick of being on the backburner. It's hard to concentrate with mum mum mum mum mum in the background!
It's a total fallacy about working from home being "easy". You still have to put the time in and if anything you need to be way more disciplined with yourself. It can a while to get it right, but it's worth it!
