There are still pros and cons to choosing to work from home, but this list is some of the things you can look forward to.
Here are some of the best perks of working from home offers you!
Set up your Office anywhere
When you work from home, you have the liberty to set up your workstation anywhere. You can choose from setting up your office in an extra room in your house, in the corner in your living room or work in your kitchen, laundry area, lawn or anywhere you’re comfortable working.
Sometimes, in an office-based setup, you may feel bored or you want to get refreshed to relieve your stress while working. However, since you are at the office, you’re stuck unless it’s your break time.
Working from home enables you to complete your work in an environment you desire.
Flexible Schedule
You are in charge of your schedule. No rush, no pressure in finishing your meal on time to not be late. You can enjoy meals with your family and eat whenever you want.
Depending on the type of work you have, you can choose your schedule suitable for your lifestyle.
Clothes
This depends on the type of work you have as some clients require you to still dress up but most of the people who work from home celebrate not having to decide which clothes to wear on a daily basis. On a few occasions, if you’re having a meeting online, be sure to still look professional.
Zero Traffic
Before, you have to leave your home at least 30 minutes or an hour before work so you will not be late if you get stuck in traffic.
In reality, you can wake up 15 minutes before your work schedule. Work wherever as long as you’re comfortable and able to focus on your work. No hassle, no stress.
You get more productive since you start your work in a less stressful way.
Less Distraction
know how it works in an office setup. There is a lot of time spent on some office chit-chats, perhaps waste of energy due to obligatory socialization. But hey, it’s not something bad or a waste of time, it’s just sometimes not everybody likes this type of office culture. Hooray for introverts!
Remote workers tend to skip the chats and gossips and just focus on the tasks they need to complete.
Working from home offers you to control your work situation. You get work done faster.
Communicate Better
Since Virtual Assistants are in demand and applicants are around the world are increasing, new online applications have been developed to ease their communication.
No more running around, chasing that officemate of yours to complete his task.
Also, you tend to clarify your thoughts and questions. That way, there are fewer rooms for misunderstanding and it saves you more time.
Learn More
The best part of working from home is that you have the opportunity to learn new skills.
When you are tasked to do something you are not familiar with, you find your self researching, looking for video tutorials or free guides. Google is your back up!
You end up learning new skills simply because you need it to complete your job. You get to be independent, flexible, and adaptable.
Save more
No more thinking about your budget for the week, work allowance and lunch money.
Since you work from home, you save big time as you just have to rummage from the fridge or pantry to get something to eat.
You don’t need to buy that dress or get new shoes for work. If you want to buy something, you buy it for yourself, not because you need it for work.
Working from home enables you to save more just for the fact that you only stay at home.
Work-Life Balance
Best of all, the balance in your life can truly be met when you work remotely. The things you are not able to do on your rest days can now be done.
If before, you can only do your laundry, run to the groceries and do some errands on your rest days, now you are free to do whatever you want.
Working from home allows you to multi-task. You can do your laundry while you work, cook, do some house cleaning and other chores.
You can find more time for your loved ones and even some time for yourself.
