Introduction It’s 5:45 in the morning and you are waking up to the annoying sound of your alarm clock going off. You are fighting yourself just to get out of bed to drive to work. You may have to drive 5 days out of the week and sometimes 6 or 7 if you are working overtime. Then you arrive at work only to sit at a desk for 8 hours and complete your specified work tasks that may seem never ending. For your commute home you are sitting in traffic for another 30 minutes to an hour building up more frustration. Keeping the same daily routine and watching the same black and white walls Monday through Friday can have its pitfalls. How can you change your daily routine with technology today?

There is a growing segment of today’s workforce that is highly-skilled and prefers to work from home. There are many professionals who find the “quietness” of a home office as a very productive environment. Businesses are also finding that many job functions work well from home-based offices
