This book is a real gem!, and one with many hidden facets. I learned many new tips and techniques about telecommuting and how to think about it, even though it is something that I've done off and on over the last 6 years. The book really shines in the area of lifestyle management---it really has a lot of worthwhile things to say about creating a life that will work for you. A life that integrates work into the bigger picture with all of the different priorities/challenges that stare all of us in the face every day. This book really tells you both how to work, and how to make your work work for you! The format is very accessible(I read some of the tips while waiting for meetings) and bitesized. The tip2 feature is a really cool way to apply the ideas and learnings. I'm recommending the book to all my friends who are telecommuting--or considering it. Fun, practical and impactful---you'll like it!

101 Tips for Telecommuters

This is a great read in addition to being content rich, sometimes witty and very wise. I'm on the "management side" of the telecommuting challenge and found the advice to be practical and sound. I'm buying copies for all of my people working from home--a small investment with an expected big reward.

Don't miss this one!

Debra's book is practical in its approach and timely in its message. If you work at home you'll not want to miss this one! Elaine Biech author of The Business of Consulting.

Taking the Mystic Out of Telecommuting

Thanks to Debra Dinnocenzo for taking the mystic out of telecommuting! A myth seems to abound that people who work out of their homes or in remote locations have a supernatural form of discipline or that they just don't work as hard since they have less traffic and fewer office politics each day. Telecommuters are real people too. We have projects, deadlines, and performance criteria. Dinnocenzo gives us great tips on how to manage the different pressures Telecommuters face. Being responsive and flexible while avoiding non-productive distrations takes on a whole new meaning for Telecommuters. Thanks again for the great Tips Debra! We appreciate this book and look forward to more of what you have to say in the future as a world of Telecommuters continues to evolve.

An ABSOLUTLY ESSENTIAL resource for home-based workers!

I LOVE the tip format of this book! Each tip is so valuable and immediately applicable to my work. I've been a home-based worker/telecommuter for 3+ years, and after reading this book, I discovered so many ways to increase my efficiency and productivity! This book re-ignited my passion for home-based working because it solved many problems I didn't even know I had (or were inhibiting my productivity). You've got to read this book if you're working from home!
