How often, waking up around 7 o'clock in the morning, in the winter, when it's still dark and very, very cold outside, we dream even for half an hour to stay in a warm bed. How bright and joyous is the picture to us when you can wake up unhurriedly, have breakfast and, without going out into the street, not freezing at a stop, without pushing in the metro, without standing in traffic jams, you just take and sit down for work.
At the same time, you can turn on your favorite music, or even better, listen to the dialogues of an interesting daytime talk show with the edge of your ear. At any time you can go to the kitchen and eat, at any time drink a seagull and even take it all with you - to the computer. Our sweet fantasy can stretch even further ...
But along with all these advantages, working at home has as many drawbacks that can instantly destroy all this idyll. Social isolation, lack of corporate support, boring loneliness - all this is recorded in the minus column when thinking about home work. In the end, still choose for yourself, so think it over.
Work at home is a plus:
1. You do not need to get up early, crash in traffic for an hour or stand in a traffic jam, convulsively hurry, afraid to be late for at least 10 minutes. Your schedule will be completely subordinate only to you.
2. You do not need to do your hair, make-up, dress up in a suit every morning and get up on your heels. You can work in a cozy sweater or T-shirt, without taking off your slippers.
3. Above you there will be no evil bosses, dissatisfied accounts department and treacherous colleagues who are trying to substitute, gossip or twist intrigue.
4. You form all your goals and ways of achieving them yourself, failures are solely your sad experience, and victories are only your personal merit.
5. If you are a married woman, then your spouse will surely be pleased that thanks to finding a house you can always meet him with a good dinner or dinner, cleanliness and order - because now you have this at least every hour at least 1.5-2, which you used to spend on the road.
6. This kind of work is well suited for people who are creative, looking for freedom from control and evaluation of life, having their own long-established circle of communication and not wanting to change it, when professional growth depends only on their own creativity and diligence, and fees on quality or quantity. Artists, photographers, designers, writers, creative journalists - all of them such work suits just right.
Work at home is a "minus":
1. Lack of a clear schedule and discipline dampens, and the process of your productivity can significantly decrease.
2. Not caring about its appearance, you can quietly "run" yourself. Hairstyle, beautiful and diverse clothes, make-up make a woman a real woman. Remaining at home, you noticeably reduce your expenses for all this, then appetites, and then the desire to do yourself at all. When you go out into the world, where there are a lot of competitors, you will constantly keep on your toes.
3. Sit recluse in their own apartment is quite difficult. Whatever one may say, but in communicating with other people a person in one way or another develops socially, which plays a role in both spiritual and intellectual development, too. Passing through the "zebra" of good and bad relationships, we form our worldview positions and values, gain friends and enemies, become hardened in problems and get support in difficult situations. In any case, all this is an undeniably useful experience.
4. Even at the psychological level to leave the house on the street, somewhere to strive, communicate with someone - this is a normal full-fledged life of modern man. To be in four walls is a rather risky step for your emotional state.
5. The boss is not always angry, but quite possibly, on the contrary, it will be an adult, experienced and authoritative person who can teach you how to properly and qualitatively perform his functions.
6. For girls and women looking for their princes, it's just the end, because even any exit to the street, not to mention working in a team or a large business center, is a chance to meet your soul mate or just have a nice acquaintance.
7. If you want to make a career in business structures, realized in management, politics, media environment or socially-directed business, then you just need not to drop out of the "jet" for a second. Every day you should be aware of the hottest events, participate in all the affairs of the company, make new contacts and improve in your achievements.
What then to choose?
- You can choose work at home for a certain period. For example, for 1-2 years. Suppose your family budget is not hindered by the deprivation of money, but you have a small child, you need to take care of and educate about it. And maybe not a small child - after all, in an amicable way, and he needs to spend a lot of time. Or, God forbid, someone is sick from relatives and you need to look after him.
- You can work at home for 5-6 months. If you have any health problems and for some time you need to follow the diet or certain procedures, often alternating stress and rest, doing exercises. If you can not overdo it a lot (it's hard to get up early, have an 8-hour day, overload the road to work).
- At home, you can go on a diet for several months, if you are thinking of seriously tackling your appearance or decided on any long-term procedures or plastic surgery.
- If you clearly decided that the house, family and children - this is the main thing that you will live and do, but I would like to have at least some money earned by myself and not a little keep up with life, realizing in some business, take care of work at home.
- If you are striving to become a businesswoman or achieve high career results, then this option is not for you. Take yourself in hand and every morning - forward to work, to conquer new peaks.
