• It might be harder to focus, especially if you have pets and/or children at home distracting you
• Less productivity, more time surfing the web and browsing social media sites
• It is a short walk to the kitchen, you might end up eating more snacks, than if you were in the office
• The isolation might make you a bit lonely, and you could miss out on the office camaraderie
