Interesting thoughts, Andy. I didn’t realize that there are telecommuting styles and that my work habits fit well into Integration. I’m single and although I try to follow a consistent work schedule, I more often than not find myself doing personal matters in the middle of the day and trying to compensate by working at late hours. But I do get stuff done, and perhaps this is because I use tools that make telecommuting easier.

Anyway, let me share a slideshow which shows tools that can be of help when you want to be more productive at work, regardless if your work style is compartmentalization, or integration (like mine): http://www.slideshare.net/cloydwaldo/tools-for-telecommuting-14100988

Thanks for the post, Andy. You make a good point about the importance of a person’s work style meshing with a company. And you’re right, it is important to work that out up front in the contract stage so that there are no unpleasant surprises. As an “LTDT” I juggle several contracts. I find that I need the discipline of a set time to work. That little bit of structure keeps me productive. At the same time, I love the mobility of being able to work in different locations. When at home I tend to start the day at the kitchen table, the afternoon in a living room armchair, and evenings on the porch. While the clock keeps me going, the change in surrounding inspires creativity.
