Working from home certainly has its perks – the tiny, convenient commute and access to all creature comforts being two of them.

As great as working from home can be – whether you’re a fulltime freelancer or a part time remote worker (meaning you spend the rest of the time in the office) – it does come with its challenges, chiefly isolation and distraction.

For anyone who works from home, has worked from home, or is thinking about working from home, here are five quotes that are sure to strike a chord in some way…
