What I learned working from home

Recently I had to have surgery, which meant working from home while I recovered. I found some great online tools, tricks and apps that made me productive. Some you may have heard of before and some may be new - all I can say is they did the trick!

Google Docs
LogMeIn
WebEx
Dropbox
Trillian
Chrome Sync (for bookmarks)
my handy dandy address book for passwords (and a pencil)

And some great resources about working from home:

lifehack.org/articles/lifehack/six-effective-tips-to-work-from-home.html

I am now back to my normal routine heading into the office and feel so much better! These tips however, are still very helpful and handy for those days when I need to work from home due to the weather, illness or meeting that upcoming deadline!
