Now you don't have to set the alarm clock, skip breakfast and straighten out your clothing in a rear view mirror. You are still working, but, you tell yourself that it can be a bit more relaxing. So many people are finding that there is a high price for this new kind of relaxation. To the extent that you are aware of these disadvantages, you can manage them more easily. Stay aware of the stumbling blocks you may expect to experience:
1. You know you have a project to complete but it is now competing with all of those unseen movies that are available to you.
2. When you are working at your job site, you tend to do things in the same order and at the same time each day. Keeping that same schedule at home is not as automatic.
3. How easy it becomes to miss messages when you are on a social phone call that you didn't want to miss.
4. You have a case of the nibbles and delivery to your home has become one of the newest businesses for you to access..............more calories.....................more money.
5. Work is frequently tiring. If you do it well, it is supposed to be. Working at home makes it easy to avoid tasks and grab a "short nap."
6. Working at home becomes lonely. The feelings of isolation can cause depression.
7. The atmosphere in an office can be lively. At home, you are likely to feel more inactive.
8. An office atmosphere tends to monitor you. You don't necessarily have a home monitor.
9. You are likely to have more problems with Wi-Fi at home.
10. You need to ask a quick question. Pretty easy in an office full of people. Pretty unlikely while you are at home.
Don't be too discouraged. There are many advantages to working at home that may lift your spirits.
1. Your schedule can be more flexible.
2. The amount of background noise or music is your choice to make.
3. You can be more physically comfortable wearing the sweat pants, jammies that would never withstand scrutiny in your office.
4. You can make calls when you want to without worrying about who may be watching or listening.
5. You can take care of some of your non related home chores when you are working there. You can be considering goals and objectives and doing laundry at the same time.
6. You can control the temperature in which you like to complete business. You won't have to contend with a lock box on your thermostat.
7. No more commuting for you. This is a biggie.
8. Lunch can be expensive at work. Last night's leftovers can be just fine at home.
9. No crowds and no traffic in your own driveway.
10. Home is where you hang your heart.
Have a good day wherever you are.
