It was the year 2020 that brought about a change in the world's job system with millions of people forced to stay home in a way to curtailed the spread of coronavirus.
For many people, the lockdown felt like being punished by the government, since it couldn't allow them to go about their normal office jobs as usual. For the business owners like myself, It was also difficult to bear, because it made businesses slow down or stop operating totally.
However, established companies with a large working force have to resort to the use of the internet, resulting in a system that allows their employees to work from home. As a result of these phenomena, a lot of us whose businesses were folded up due the coronavirus lockdown have to turn to the internet to find work we can do from home. From then on, the concept of working from home became an ideal thing to me, such that even when the lockdowns were relapsed, going to work in a physical office was no longer appealing to me.
Although, during the global lockdown it was nice to be home around families and work from home. But, by the passage of time, boredom set in, and it became difficult to cope with family members intruding on the workflow. However, time also enables me to find a way to create a working space away from kids and family members right in my apartment.
From my experience as a work from home dad for four years, working from home has many benefits or advantages over the usual brick and mortar office jobs.
Benefits of Working From Home
Working From Home home Save You More Money
This is one of the obvious benefits of working from home. We know the cost of petrol and diesel is going higher everyday in many countries. Money that could be used to drive the car or motorbike to the office can be saved for other things. Working from home provides financial benefits. You can save funds that would've gone towards transportation costs. No need for that trip from home to the office, and back home
.
Studies indicate remote workers potentially pocket around $4,000 annually. This money could have gone to electricity, lunches, cab, parking fees, car storage, Metro and other things that makes going to office work possible.
Working from home also saves money on clothes. You don't need the suits, or other special attires. No cleaning costs are needed. At your home, you do not need any of these things.
Conserving the Environment
We have heard about global warming and that air pollution is one of the main causes. It is as a result of gas leaks in cars, and as more car owners are among the current home-based workers, car traffic is declining from our roads. Millions of people now do their work at home. This reduces the value of Greenhouse Gas. Thousands of vehicles are off the road throughout the year. As a result, this leads to a reduction in global warming much more than before. It is of importance to our health since the air and water pollution will have been reduced.
Additionally, since all your work is home based and on computers, laptops, or a cell phone in some circumstances. Each document and data are composed on the internet on computers and laptops. There is no requirement for the use of much paper. This assists in protecting our woodlands and forest from being felled at a greater rate. Additionally, the streets are free of garbage with fewer plastic bottles and plastic’s bags.
Flexibility
Working from home offers flexibility to do tasks your way, and at your pace. Office jobs demand strict schedules, leaving little room for personal and family time. Remote work, on the other hand, provides freedom – you choose when to work. Sleep in after a late movie night? No problem! No morning rush needed. You still have the time to engage in leisure activities.
I'm fascinated by this opportunity to pick my own hours of work, allowing more family time. Truly, I relish this aspect of remote work - being surrounded by my wife and children all day, sharing laughter, lounging on the couch with my laptop while enjoying a movie together. Moreover, this arrangement can heal strained relationships caused by excessive work demands.
Working From Home Let You Focus Better When Working.
I believe working remotely means you can concentrate more fully on tasks. There's no disruption except for your phone. This may seem counterintuitive, but look at it again: at home, your work hours proceed calmly. No boss monitoring your every move. Less pressure allows more creativity, giving you much time to explore multiple solutions to job-related challenges.
You enjoy greater peace and quiet at home while working. There 's time to research different problem-solving methods without intense oversight. Undistracted by office noise, your mind stays clear and open to new ideas. The freedom inspires resourcefulness too, making remote work more productive.
In conclusion, working from home provides satisfaction, yet requires focus amidst family. You must learn concentration, despite children and spouse nearby, uninterrupted. Overall, I find remote work very rewarding personally and beneficial to society. More people working from home would prove beneficial. With proper home organization, distractions diminish, preventing slowdowns.
