Benefits of working from home
Benefits of working from home
One of the many benefits of working from home is that you can be totally flexible when the need arises. When working a 9-5 job, its never easy to approach your boss and ask for time off at a drop of the hat. Circumstances may dictate that you just need to be away for example with your family, however your boss also needs his staff and he pays your wage or salary. Being your own boss allows you much more flexibility.
Flexible timetable
Sometimes a flexible timetable is a must! These past couple of weeks have had our hosehold in a bit of a turmoil due to the planned arrival of a new family member. Nothing went quite according to plan! Our daughters little bundle of joy eventually arrived when HE was ready, nearly two weeks late, weighing in at 7lbs 11ozs.
Working from home allows one to be flexible and to juggle the work, the working hours and daily tasks according to when the time allows. With the added volume of phone calls, conversations and visitors this week, work has taken second place and has had to be kept to a minimum with certain tasks postponed. Not something an employer would look at too favourably.
Work timetable
Now that things are settling down, it will be back to the normal work timetable. Hopefully! Once back in more of a routine, even the brain switches into work mode and tasks run smoothly. Following a timetable and being disciplined are very important when working from home. Too easily one can become distracted, unfocused and become engrossed in other ’stuff’ and lapse into achieving very little. Following a timetable with set tasks to be achieved creates a sense or urgency and stimulates action. At the end of the work day you can then tick the boxes and derive satisfaction from a job well done.
At the end of this week I am looking forward to the monthly 2 day Ycademy Seminar: How to Build an Online Business which will help to get my brain completely on track and focused back on my long term goal.
