The pros and cons of working from home
More people than ever are working from home right now due to a nationwide outbreak. While most of us are happy to make the responsible decision to keep ourselves and our loved ones healthy, working from home does come with some unique challenges for people who are not used to it. Despite being committed to the work, people often hit roadblocks throughout the day when confined within the four walls of their own home. Clare Evans, a time management and productivity coach, admits that its not just the surrounding environment that causes distractions. Other difficulties include finding the discipline to sit down and work, dealing with the idea of not being able to “get away from the office”, and a lack of human interaction. On top of this, it’s the chores (“that pile of laundry isn’t going to fold itself”), the kitchen (“I can use another cup of tea”), and the television (“Just one more episode…) that are major culprits of distraction. Ahead, Evans offers simple solutions for the very difficult task of how to work from home. First, you’ll want to make yourself aware of these reasons you can’t focus and what to do about it.
