uniformity is a common feature at the office. but at home you have the fredom to play around and come up with something unique and personal. this is what i am planning this holiday. i usually bring office works at home and yet i don't have space for doing that. i wanna allot a corner of my house for my mini office and an avenue where my kid and i answer homeworks.

I always attempt to bring my work home, but never get anything done. There's just too many things to do other than work. But, I guess it's something I carried over from schooldays - I did my homework in school, before class started!

I make sure I don't. Fortunately, I don't have a very demanding job, so there is really no reason for me to bring work at home. I barely have 2-3 hours a day for my son on a weekday, so I make the most out of it.

Not normally, but from time to time, I do have to bring home the work from my office. There are times when I have to meet the target date to complete certain papers related to the business. If I can't finish that at the office during the day, I have to bring it to my home and work on it all along the night. That is the nature of work I have.

No, it's very rare that I have to bring any kind of work home with me. I work in healthcare, so fortunately, when I finish my work at work, I can leave it there. Every once in a while we'll have an exam or something we have to review, and that I will do at home. But it's never anything that I would need alot of space for. usually, I can just retreat to the quiet of my bedroom to get done what I have to do. What I tend to bring home from work more often, is the stress, but that's a whole other story.

I am not working in an office yet since I'm still studying. But I usually prefer to bring my school works at home particularly those group works which need to be accomplished. I really don't find myself very effective working in a group specially if we are working on something which really needs a lot of thinking. I also feel comfortable working at home.

I myself want a small little space just for me in my house for an office type pace. I dont work outside my house but i work from home. My office space is considered the living room and my computer desk is in it because the rest of my house has no room. I would rather be off by myself where i couldnt hear anyone and no one could see me because someone is less likely to bug me when I am trying to concentrate when they can't see me. What do you think? Is this the kind of space you were saying you wanted?

If it is not necessary, I don't want to bring my work to home. I already spend my best time in the office everyday, so I shall have my own time for my family and myself. I don't want to even think about work in my spare time. I love China

Bringing work at home is a nice thing for workaholics. But I prefer bringing work at home if I stay at a place nearby whichever company I work. This way I can have less traveling time and I can work excess without much exertion. But if I stay far away from the workplace, then naturally the traveling will wear me down so it won't be much possible to bring work at home then!!

I'm never bring work office to my home. For me, office work keep must done in the office. The time at home is the time for family Also for me, not appropriate and prudent action to bring jobs office to the home, because when doing office work at home, will be a lot of potential problems that damage our concentration, either from the wife or our children

I did well too often and realize that it is not the best thing to do as our own time should be our own time. However deadlines at work cause us all to have to over work and realistically when we are no longer with the company they still go on.

I work from home but back when i work in the office I try my best to finish everything. I'm a schedule freak so I try to follow my own schedule.

Any spare time I'm at home, whenever possible I use for work. But often my children needed my attention when at home, so that the plan would do the work at home, even not so well. But sometimes, the idea / inspiration that come just as at home, while playing with young kids, so remembering what to do.
