Summary: 101 Tips for Telecommuters: Real Life
Review: 101 Tips is a must-have desk reference for professionals who are contemplating or just entering the telecommuting world. It is exceptionally well-organized with cross-references, appendices, checklists, and a writing style that makes it very easy to find what you need and want. The author effectively delivers not only the mechanics for efficient telecommuting but also, and perhaps more importantly, addresses the relationship dimensions within the family unit and co-workers. The book is loaded with inserts (or "Tip2"s). The telecommuter who diligently implements all or most of these Tip2s will find new levels of personal efficiency and insights into relationships that can relieve many anxious moments.The resource guide in the appendix was an unexpected bonus. This book is also a great resource for the eager, new member of the workforce who wants to do well and have a balanced life.

Summary: An ABSOLUTLY ESSENTIAL resource for home-based workers!
Review: I LOVE the tip format of this book! Each tip is so valuable and immediately applicable to my work. I've been a home-based worker/telecommuter for 3+ years, and after reading this book, I discovered so many ways to increase my efficiency and productivity! This book re-ignited my passion for home-based working because it solved many problems I didn't even know I had (or were inhibiting my productivity). You've got to read this book if you're working from home!

Summary: Taking the Mystic Out of Telecommuting
Review: Thanks to Debra Dinnocenzo for taking the mystic out of telecommuting! A myth seems to abound that people who work out of their homes or in remote locations have a supernatural form of discipline or that they just don't work as hard since they have less traffic and fewer office politics each day. Telecommuters are real people too. We have projects, deadlines, and performance criteria. Dinnocenzo gives us great tips on how to manage the different pressures Telecommuters face. Being responsive and flexible while avoiding non-productive distrations takes on a whole new meaning for Telecommuters. Thanks again for the great Tips Debra! We appreciate this book and look forward to more of what you have to say in the future as a world of Telecommuters continues to evolve.

Summary: Practical and freeing advice for telecommuters: not fluffy
Review: This book has many great tips and is perfectly focused on the employee and issues of performance. Best of all, the author gives permission to read the tips you need most and encourages you to skip around the book. I find this to be empowering, which is a perfect start to being a successful teleworker.Be forewarned this is not a typical "tips" book but is meaty and geared toward professionals.

Summary: 101 Tips for Telecommuters: Real Life
Review: This book is a real gem!, and one with many hidden facets. I learned many new tips and techniques about telecommuting and how to think about it, even though it is something that I've done off and on over the last 6 years. The book really shines in the area of lifestyle management---it really has a lot of worthwhile things to say about creating a life that will work for you. A life that integrates work into the bigger picture with all of the different priorities/challenges that stare all of us in the face every day. This book really tells you both how to work, and how to make your work work for you! The format is very accessible(I read some of the tips while waiting for meetings) and bitesized. The tip2 feature is a really cool way to apply the ideas and learnings. I'm recommending the book to all my friends who are telecommuting--or considering it. Fun, practical and impactful---you'll like it!
