This past year I have been working remotely and have enjoyed some of the benefits. It has been interesting and working from home may not be for everyone but I am appreciating the differences that do make working much easier.
Some companies may put in new practices to allow employees to work from home more often, I would definitely be interested in this considering that most of my work can be done remotely.
Working from home has given me these benefits:
- There is practically no commute time and no travelling during rush hour
- There is access to all of your belongings
- Dressing more casually than usual, especially when no meetings are planned
- There is more time to spend with the family
- It is much easier to be able to take a break when needed
- It is great to be able to work from home when fasting during Ramadan
I hope to continue working from home more often in future.
If you have been working remotely, how have you found it and would you want to go back?
I agree with all your points, I personally love working from home! Saves me a ton of transit time as I work short shifts xx

Thank you Mia! I found this a really valuable benefit as there can be more time to focus on something during what would be that transit time. xx
DeleteYes, indeed, I work from home too, some downside though is there are many distractions form my own computer. Sometimes I tend to browse the net or sop instead of work hehe.

Thank you and I hope you have a great week Dheera!
DeleteIndeed so many benefits to working from home. But you know I am also feeling this lethargy, missing out on co-workers, random meet-ups, fun stuff. I guess there's both sides to the coin!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blog you have in here!
There are definitely two sides to working from home, I do miss having face to face conversations with co-workers sometimes.
DeleteYes, I agree. I've been working from home as well and it's so convenient.

Working from home is so convenient and I am loving that!
DeleteMy best wishes to you 💕
ReplyDeleteAnd to you the same! Best wishes 🧸
DeleteI am glad that you have found these positives - and hope that your company comes on board and makes it a permanent possibility - at least some of the time.
ReplyDeleteThank you and I hope so too!
DeleteOh so nice darling
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to be able to work from home. My daughters are both teachers, and they were both working from home. But recently my youngest
ReplyDeletehad to go back to school to teach, and I wasn't pleased about that. You have such a cute blog, and it's nice to meet new friends.

Thank you, I hope you keep safe and glad you find it nice to work from home too!
DeleteOh, my daughters work from home, but I am in my retirement years right now. I was a stay-at-home mom for many years,
Deleteand then when the kids were in school, I worked as a Teacher's Aide and Photographer. : )
Wow, I hope you are enjoying retirement and your daughters enjoy working from home. Your photography skills might come in handy when taking photos for your blog!
DeleteI have gone to my office the whole time - no working from home when you're an office manager! It doesn't work! :) What I've heard from my colleagues is similar to what you've said, but I've also heard people have found it hard to separate work and life and are working far too many hours.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting my blog!
It is easier to merge work and personal life when working from home but having a designated space for work and sticking to hours really helps. I hope you are keeping safe and enjoy being at the office!
DeleteI work from home all the time but I know a few people that have really enjoyed the switch and are dreading the return to the office. It's been so nice seeing people a bit more relaxed and better able to enjoy their free time x

I have been working from home for just over 5 years now, and I LOVE it! My favourite part is the fact that I get to work with my pets by my side. They are my biggest source of stress relief, always knowing when I need a few extra kisses or a short snuggle to help get my mind back on track. I can't imagine going back to a work environment where I had to leave them behind.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds amazing for you to be able have your pets by your side while you are working, its so lovely for you! I am glad you've been able to really enjoy working remotely and I hope it continues to work for you!
DeleteI've been working from home for just over a year now and definitely feel the same as you, it's nice not having to travel to and from work. I also love that I can get the little things done like put some clothes washing on so I don't have to do it over the weekend x
ReplyDeletei agree with all your points! working from home is great but i'm so easily distracted sometmes i get nothing done lol

Hey lovely!
ReplyDeleteI am too loving WFH as I think it's so easy to get up and go to a specific space.
I have been living in this, and wearing lounge 247 is obvs a big plus.

I agree that working from home has so many benefits! I am so grateful to have been able to continue working during the pandemic, and the flexibility to work out during a lunch break is my favorite benefit.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a great week so far!
