The first point in the most important. A lot of people who are not self starters will find it hard to succeed working from home because there's a very high probability of shifting the work to a later time - procrastination, the cancer of success.

Just like you, I make sure my workplace is free from distraction. I just woke up some two hours ago, had a 40 mins run, then my bath and a glass of coffee. At at my table now, and will be here for the next six hours before taking lunch breaks. It's definitely satisfying to work from home but most people make the mistake of saying it's gonna be an easy ride, I put in about 18 hours a day at my work and online studies now. I hope to but it to 16 hours in three months time.
