When you have a 'real world' job, you are required to show up at work or risk losing employment. And, sometimes that's true even if you are sick. When you work at home you can actually take a sick day without fear. However, taking a day off, also means work gets backed up so there's more to do on the next day when you're not feeling sick anymore. How do you deal with the situation when you feel too sick to get out of bed but still need to get work done on deadline?

Throughout the past few years I've only had maybe 1-2 small periods off working online completely and in those cases it was actual vacations. Other than that if I at home I am getting my work done. On a day when I'm feeling terrible though I will only do the work that must get done, anything that's optional can always wait. Not the most pleasant example for some but just the other day I was throwing up 20 minutes after waking up whilst doing my usual morning work.
If I didn't do the work all I would think about is the fact I haven't done the work, that there'll be a ton to the next day and that in any 1 of the many areas I work online there could be a serious problem that I am not aware of. You never know what you could miss in a day. Your hosting provider could go down, your website could be hacked, a great client might be very angry at you that is only due to a misunderstanding and you appear as ignoring them, the possibilities are endless even if unlikely.
I was very rarely allowed time off school when sick which probably attributes to my attitude about it.

Don't push yourself too hard when you are sick or your recovery time will be longer. Or, in the situation of flu or other infection you might get sick all over again.

I had that happen to me once and was off even longer than what I would have been if I had just taken a day off to rest.
