I'm way overdue for this - thanks for the reminder.. I know my company is supposed to be getting a virtual backup of my laptop, but I'd sleep better knowing I have all my files on a hard-drive (or thumb) just in case.

Question to the group:

Any recommended resources for helping with time and workflow and life management for those who work from home?

I'm easily 5x more productive in my home office than I ever was in a corporate open-office/cubicle setting, but I still struggle with the basics - separating work/home time, taking breaks, eating well, incorporating exercise, removing distractions, etc.

As much as I love working from home, love my job and my company, and my clients, I still miss some things about the corporate world: leaving work at work, having a reason to get up and ride for 30-45min (commuting), having built-in community and interaction with the outside world, more access to food and coffee walks at lunch and breaks, and having a dedicated IT department and large printer/copier. Not that I want to go back, just saying - there are trade-offs.

assuming your work requires you to have electronics with you at all times.

Lots of good suggestions already.

One more, a recent addition for me. Endlessly reusable notebook, with the ability to transfer written pages to electronic files.
