Work From Home? How Do You Decide?
With the advent of information technology and the Internet,
work-from-home schemes had been a continuous trend for so many
years now, and it seems to be getting better each day.
So, here you are trying your way to get out of the traffic
because you are bound to be late for work again. And when you
get down to start your work, you will realize that it is time
again to pack your things up and start heading for home. That is
another traffic you have to get through again.
Looks like a pretty wearisome routine? Think again.
No wonder why more and more people are enticed to try working
from home. They only not save more money from commuting and
driving but they are able to work better because they are not
too tired to get things done.
So, if you have been contemplating on whether you would go and
try working at home or not, then it's better to check some of
the pros and cons first so as to help you decide whether you
would go for it or not:
Pros
1. Convenience
This is the very edge of most work-from-home arrangements. You
don't have to wake up early every single day just to beat the
bus or get through a heavy traffic.
2. Encourages safety.
There had been reports wherein most accidents involve people who
are in a hurry to get to work. There are thousand of incidents
where people get hurt or harshly hurt just because they want to
get to work at once so as not to be late. All of these things
get down on one main point: they are all in a hurry to get to
work.
Whereas, if you work from home, chances are you will not be
experiencing these dangerous incidents lurking around. You don't
have to be in a hurry to beat the traffic. You don't have to
press the accelerator faster just to get into the meeting
earlier. All you have to do is to sit back, relax and
contemplate on how you will start your work today right in the
comfort of your home.
3. Gives more time for your family.
In many instances, people who work in the office will have
little time for their family. This is because they will be
spending almost half of their time commuting back and fort, from
their house to
office and vice-versa.
Whereas, if they work from home, half of the time spent in
commuting will be dedicated more to the family, keeping the bond
alive and the love overflowing.
Cons
1. It's not an eight-to-five job.
This means that since you work from home, the timeframe is not
strictly set unlike what you have on a regular job.
Moreover, your client sometimes gets to think that you are
available 24 hours a day because it is so easy to get in touch
with you. All they have to do is to call you or get you online.
What's worse, they won't even think twice in calling you at
midnight just because there's some work that need to be
hurriedly done.
2. There's no definite distinction.
This because your home is your office and your office is your
home. In this manner, it is really difficult to set a clear
distinction on getting into an office mode and eventually
switching to home mode if needed.
Most often than not, you get to work most of the time when you
work from home because there are no time frame to follow, no
buzzers to beat, and no deadlines to meet.
3. It's even harder to set discipline at home.
This is because you can clearly see that your home office is
just beside your bed, your computer near your night table, and
your phone just a few inches from you.
If people find it so hard to wake up in the morning just to get
to work, it is doubly harder when working from home. People who
works from home always tend to think that they can do it a
little later since there wouldn't be no boss checking out if you
are late.
So, if you really want to decide whether you want to work from
home, it's all up to you now. The bottom line is that whether it
is from home or in the office, as long as you are well
compensated, then there wouldn't be any problem at all.
