I manage some investment portfolios for a denominational pension fund. I also do some investment work for myself and a couple of partners. I work part of the time at home, since all I really need are some publications and good internet access. Most of my work time is spent researching and analyzing. It probably looks like I'm not even working, but I am. Altogether probably something over 50 hours per week, but only about half of that actually “at work.” I get paid based on the performance of my portfolios, not by salary or by the hour. That’s scary sometimes, but at least I don’t feel tied to a timeclock. I do find it easier to discipline myself at the office. I can also be very disciplined when traveling, and I’ll get up early and work until check out time and then hit the road. But at home, I tend to futz around. Some days I just need to go to the office or I won’t get a damn thing done.
