Each of us dreams about such work, which would bring a good profit, but it did not take a lot of time. Tired of daily early awakenings, constant traffic jams and an eight-hour day, many are moving to a remote job. Thanks to the computer and the Internet today you can work without leaving home at any time. But after a while it turns out that everything is not so smooth: there are no less problems in remote work than in office work, and it takes away time decently. So how to be?
Remote work has many advantages. You plan your working schedule independently, you have time for yourself, you do not need to be in one place all the time. In addition, various studies have shown that the efficiency of people who work at home is much higher than what those who sit in the office every day. For employers there are also advantages: you do not need to rent a room, you do not need to spend money on paying for various services and so on.
For many, remote work is a chance to break out of everyday routine, feel like a free person. So you can save not only nerves, but also strength. You do not need to sit down for work in one and the same time, you can adjust to your biorhythms. You have more time for the family and children, for yourself. You can travel and still get paid.
But many advantages are just illusions. What kind?
How to do it?
Many believe that working at home, you can manage your time more efficiently and your efficiency at the same time increase. This is a typical delusion. Many after they start working at home, over time, they discover that they can not work normally without control. You can enjoy walks all day or do your business, and later in the evening you realize that you have not done anything from work.
What to do? First of all, it is necessary to realize that work at home requires self-discipline and the ability to plan your day, as well as correctly prioritize. You are your own boss, who controls the work process. Therefore, everything is better to paint on the clock and do not get distracted by trifles. This is not so easy, because there are a lot of temptations. To not overload yourself too much, break the work into parts, and execute it during the day. For example, work for 2.5 hours three times a day. Best of all, try to perform all the work in the afternoon, so that in the evening you have free time to communicate with friends, going to theaters and so on.
Sociophobia or genius communication?
"Thanks to the new schedule, I will finally be able to spend a lot of time with my friends, meet with colleagues in an informal atmosphere, etc. This is unfortunately true. How many a person has not worked in a team, leaving him, he ceases to be a part of it. After all, communication by our colleagues is weakening. For many, such an unexpected turn becomes a shock and even sometimes leads to depression. Begins to miss the usual fuss, jokes colleagues, grumpy boss and the like. But we need to realize that friends will not see each other much more often. After all, they still have the same graphics cards. Over time, life can begin to seem inferior and boring. You may have resentment towards colleagues and loved ones. Instead of the comfort that you have so dreamed about, you can get some disappointment.
What to do? People can be divided into two categories. To the first are those who need communication, like air. By the second - people are self-sufficient. If you belong to the first category, then the remote job is not for you. Try to find something that requires part-time employment. This will give you more free time and will support in a tone. The second type of people, too, is not all smooth. If you work for a long time on remote work, then real social phobia can develop. After all, self-sufficient people can be without people, and they generally will not be able to get used to communication.
Take care of yourself
A person who goes to a remote job has time and opportunity to tackle himself. But in practice it turns out to be completely different. When you do not need to get up every morning and go, many of us stop moving - sit around the computer from morning till evening. Zaden we move only around the apartment: to the kitchen for a cup of tea or a meal. But this does not replace full-fledged activity, so many of the lean ones turn into complete ones. Without a full-fledged physical exertion, heart problems appear, muscles weaken, and the body loses mobility and flexibility. In addition to all this, the mood spoils and you begin to quarrel with your loved ones and discontent.
What to do? First of all, you need to take care of the full exercise. Get fit in the fitness room, dance or in the pool. This will help to get rid of your daily calories. Then properly organize your workplace. Arrange the printer, phone, fax in such a way that they should be approached, and not just reach out. Then you will often get up off the chair. Do not forget the duties of the house. Cleaning will help you to get the right load. There is another way to maintain the form - to have a dog. She will not let you sit on the spot long: with her you have to walk five times a day, play, bathe her and takadale.
All the time at the post
Some believe that they will be able to work around the clock, which means that it will be possible to earn more money. On the one hand, it's true: you are always at work and can do the work. But on the other hand, a round-the-clock schedule, you will be inconvenient to your loved ones. By the same token, the line between work and leisure will quickly disappear, and you will become very tired, and maybe it will even lead to stress.
What to do? If you work with visitors at home, then discuss your schedule with those whom it concerns - with neighbors or at home. Your work should not create discomfort. And in order not to turn into a "squirrel in the wheel", decide in advance for yourself, in what time and what schedule you will perform.
I will become a model mommy and wife
Many women think that working at home will help to free up more time for children and husband. But experience shows that this is not always the case. Household chores and children will inevitably annoy you and make adjustments in your plans. The most difficult thing is to explain to your loved ones that if you do not drive every day to the office, this does not mean that you can be distracted all the time by the populists.
What to do? Prepare yourself for the fact that in the beginning you will have to fight for your working time. Conduct a conversation with the household, explain that now your schedule has changed and bring to their understanding of the features of the new schedule. They need to understand that if you work at home, then this does not mean that you have become a housewife and all household chores need to roll over to your shoulders. You can even make a special sign "Do not worry!" And put it next to you if necessary.
Of course, households do not immediately realize all the serious remote work, and you will often have to explain to them the same thing. But eventually become better and you can work peacefully.
Now you know not only about the advantages of remote work, but also about its shortcomings. Therefore, before moving on to a new job, think about whether the new conditions will apodetect you?
