Re:Ask HN: Working from home & depression on Friday March 18, 2011 @06:49PM (#2342337)
Here are my thoughts from experience:

1. keep a schedule-be showered, have breakfast and be ready to work at 9. 2. I have friend I call at lunchtime so that I'm not eating "alone" 3. When it seems like nothing is getting done, I go and have a change of place...I go to Starbucks, the library or somewhere else to complete the work. 4. Find a group of other friends that also work from home and have phone/skype/im coffee breaks with one or two of them. 5. Let yourself be lazy sometimes-no one is productive every day. Hope that helps!
