If you go to work，you’re probably familiar with the routine of travelling to the office，hunting for an available desk, completing your tasks and then enduring your commute home.In many ways, it seems like an outdated working practice.And maybe that’s why more and more of us are now choosing to work from home.
        In the UK, figures from the Office for National Statistics show more than one and a half million people work from home for their main job.But, although logging on from the comfort of your sofa may appeal，some people are forced to work from home and find it hard going.Marketing consultant Mark Black told the BBC he struggled to switch off from work when he was based solely at home.He says：“I hate home working.You get up in the morning and stare at the same four walls, do your work, and try and clock off, but you can’t.” And as Emma Mamo from mental health charity Mind says：“Home workers don’t always have the same opportunities to connect with people as their office based colleagues.”
        But remote working doesn’t always mean being at home.Cafes and workplace spaces offer a chance for workers，particularly selfemployed people，to come together and interact with each other.There are also employees who have no choice but to work remotely because their companies have decided to do away with offices altogether to have a more agile workforce—it’s certainly very cost effective and attractive for start ups. But for those employed by businesses with a physical base, working at home provides a convenient alternative to the 9 to 5.And without the distraction of their colleagues，it can be the most productive place to work!
