I've been working from home since January 2017 thanks to a friend of mine that needed some bug fixes with her client's app on Safari, only because I had a macbook. (She knew that I do program but not professionally) And as I fixed everything in a day, I continued working on more and more tasks and since then I've been working on a variaty of projects, even now I had a weird experiencie related to a new client's project and some issues with a person I started some kind of 'freelancers' group that honestly deserves a post.

After making a huge introduction of myself (?) Just so you know I only worked (programming) from home, and, can't be happier about it.

One of the challenges for me, living with my family, we are 6. Is concentration. Is quite complicated, I work with music to avoid be so distracted with noises but sometimes is really peaceful.

With my client, there's no problem when I work, so I could work whenever I want, but I also go to the university so time is really something that I don't have in abundance. I try to keep myself with a schedule to work in a project and then work in another, but for me is quite hard to keep it constant.

One of the worst things is having to deal is having to accomodate my life around both projects and uni. Working from home makes things a little bit easier but distractions are real as you talked in the post.

But I'll like to be able to do the things that you recommend and that I totally agree with.

Sorry for the longs post, and my horrible grammar that just gets worst when I try to communicate big thoughts haha!

And finally, I'd like to point you a typo in the end where you said form instead of from :)
