Work From Home (WFH)

WORK FROM HOME 






     It is where you work which is not your personal work but gets it done at your home-based office not particularly a real office, with a small space established for that particular work.


v  Why it is trending before 2020 WFH was not an option for many professionals as only freelancers or for who got a specific approval from his/her boss could get the option. But now due to pandemic /corona/COVID-19, many companies are providing an alternative solution to get their work done from home. But not many are successful in this venture. Let us take a look at the pros and cons of WFH#






v  Pros

 

  • It has allowed you to get your work done even in worst of external circumstances 



means you still have your job

  • You can get it done even in sweatpants or shorts or like In my case with a baby sleeping in your lap
  • You can have as much coffee /tea breaks
  • You can boast about your work to your family
  • You have your schedule
  • You will have less of interaction with bugging people or your managers
  • You can exercise whenever you want.

 

v  Cons

  • Even though you are now living with family all the time, but You are always on constant check my emails and your work, etc.
  • You can get an urgent call regarding your work even at midnight and you cannot say ‘ I’m involved in something else as’ laptop is always in the next room.
  • If you don’t exercise, then tiredness and puffy eyes will be your constant companion.
  • You can feel a bit out of touch with your colleagues.
  • Coffee /tea break does not involve chit chat with friends.

 

v  How to balance personal and professional life

  • Maintain a schedule
  • Keep a proper place for work  

Though I consider it as most important, ask for help if you need one, doing multitasking can take a toll on your health and efficiency.

  • Do proper exercise and keep aside a few minutes for yourself
  • While having coffee break move away from your workplace
  • Be flexible





v  Why being a mother now is an advantage

  • If you can always be with your child and simultaneously be with your child.
  • Your coffee breaks were never this fun
  • More time for yourself and your children
  • Don’t forget to get a few minutes for yourself





v  What are WFH trends:

  • Understanding the telecommunications and making a job out of it :)
  • Human -machine interaction
  • Exploring how important is health and family
  • Building workforce
  • Mentoring each other



v  Essential:

  • A separate place for the work you want to do is the most important one.
  • Most important you!

TIME is Name of My God

  I get most of my ideas while I am jogging or sipping an evening tea or reading my favorite book. Those ideas seem worthy enough to solve most of the problems in the universe, but they seem like hanging from a fine thread of hope after endorphins wear off. Which made me believe that all our world problems could be solved if, everyone was a jogger or a reader. This won’t be another post which will describe how we can do unsurmountable things in life or how you can be a millionaire in short span of time rather it is about something which we all experience but choose to ignore like our brain ignores our nose all the time. This entity is not a living entity still I consider it as the most powerful one. Some physicist says, in space it does not exist, it is merely an observation. But still, most of our lives revolves around it and you will be surprised to know that most people die because they feel they cannot control it. In my opinion, after reading this post, you will agree with me o...

People Grow Old, Birth-days Remain Same

‘' No one knows when old age begins ’’ the quote I read somewhere while preparing for my undergraduate exams to become a doctor. Now years have passed, I have grown old and I still remember this line in my head. 'If we take a moment and observe other species like monkeys, birds, cows, etc. then you will see their younger generation is quite playful and curious and as they get older they learned to protect themselves, feed and explore but with some caution and then die due to old age. There is not much of a difference between one old lion from second old lion in terms of experience and age. To be honest all animals except humans (here I am not considering our ancestors like the chimpanzee, etc. because that will be totally out of context.) grow old in same way as their fellow animals. It is not like we can say that one lion was cool as he did something unusual in terms of experience which his fellow lion could not do before he died (unless kep...

Is Foreplay the Missing Part in your Relationship?

  The other day, I was reading a paper on mental disorders, and it explained how coming decade we will be seeing an epidemic of medical health disorders. I believe, in terms of mental health what we are facing today is only a tip of an iceberg.  To understand the basics of this iceberg, we need to have a closer look. How do you define a RELATIONSHIP? In simple words ‘the way in which one or more objects or people are connected, or the state of being connected.’  Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest or any other similar social media is showing off so many great relationships and yet we have so many people living with mental disorders , yet we are not able to connect with people who die of loneliness or lack of relationship, yet we are not able to raise children who can empathize, so what the hell is going on with so-called relations...
