You know, I could tell a lot about self-organisation, how to arrange things, and how to make your wife and children think you're absent when they see you working in the dinning room. But you're right, people en masse are new to this.
I've been working from home for 15 years and such articles make me laughing. Media simply try to fill the vacuum they are in and their efforts are simply ridiculous.
