The Side That No One Thinks About

Do you ever get sick of people saying go get a real job implying that working from home isn't good enough? That it's less than a work environment that outside your comfort zone. The fact is most people still think working from home is somehow bad or lazy. You know what that is just a big load of nonsense.

Being in that in-between area where I am not well enough to work outside of the house but well enough to not do anything I know what it's like and I'm sure it's not only myself that feels like this.

Right now with the world the way it is, it is the safest thing to be doing not only that but it is a more productive way for some people. It means that your life won't get uprooted when something happens out in the world.

Working from home you have the ability to set your own schedule and rules, you are your own boss. Plus you still have your health and don't lose who you are in the process. Having the time freedom also allows you to do things you always wanted to do but didn't have time for before.

Even though you don't move forward unless you are always getting outside of your comfort zone you can still do that from the comfort of your own home.

Another bright side is the fact you can be yourself at home. You don't have to wear that uniform that doesn't look good or that you may be allergic to. You can wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Contrary to belief you can even get stuff done in your pajamas.

When creating your schedule some believe it's harder when you work from home and well maybe it is but in a let's get going way not a hard way. Trouble getting your day started can be avoided by setting some things up so you know before you do anything else that those have to be done first.

You don't have to wake up at inconvenient times to make sure you have enough time to get there, so you don't get stuck in traffic or the forbidden act of looking like you got run over because you are still half asleep.

You can have a break whenever you want so that headache you have been trying to deal with for the last hour won't go away; you can actually go and lay down for half an hour without getting yelled at and possibly get the threat of your fired from your boss just for needing a little bit of time to feel better. No one deserves to get treated like that.

The only and I mean the only thing I have to warn you about is not having a separate space to do your productive things apart from the space you do everything else. If you are living in a smaller place it can be hard to find a balance.

Here is the number one tip I use for the lack of space a little easier.

Instead of having a different space have a different device for your business different from the one you use for everything else. Failing that you can always do what I and set up two or three different profiles on the same device. Believe me, this can get a little hard to handle however it is worth it but sometimes I will just use different web browsers instead.

The other tip to making it easier to work at home if you are not already is to have lots of notes or notebooks whichever you find is easier and more productive for you.

So you see my opinion is this, working from home is not bad it all depends on everyone's individual preference and mindset.

You don't have to follow the normal of what else is doing to get farther in life. Working from home is not as terrible as everyone thinks or says. So it's time to ask yourself why you haven't started working from home yet.
