When NOT Even a Cozy Home Can Make You Work
from Home
Having to work at home may be a blessing or a curse to various
groups of individuals. Where some prefer to work from the
confines of their homes, some prefer to work in a corporate
setting.
If you prefer to work from home, you need to take into
consideration the following disadvantages:
Lack of social life
Juggling time between the kids and work at home may be an
all-consuming effort that could leave very little time for
social interaction with other people. Unlike having an
office-based job wherein regular Christmas parties and company
events are held, there are not much social events for a
work-at-home person to go to.
Distraction from work
While in the middle of writing a good article, the baby might
wail and needs to be changed, the mailman might arrive and
require a document to be signed as proof of receipt, or the
school might call to inform you that the middle child had been
sick. Thus, the momentum or surge of energy flow that could
have produced an award-winning article had gone down the drain
due to some distractions. This probably is one of the greatest
setbacks of doing home-based work as compared to doing work in
the office where you can dedicate the whole days just for
working on a certain project.
Personal grooming
Unlike having to dress up to go to work, individuals who work
from home might not find the need for proper grooming or going
with the latest fashion. Not being able to look your best might
contribute to your lack of self-confidence, which through some
chain of events, could result to unproductiveness.
With the mentioned work-from-home pros and cons, you are now
more empowered to come up with an informed decision on what to
expect or what trials to surmount if you choose to finally
settle for a work-at-home arrangement, may it be a business or
a telecommute job.
