Time Management Is Important When Working for Extra Income At Home |
The only disadvantages of working arise when one was really over doing it to the extreme. Having your own space and time had made an impression to you that you are at home but actually you are just virtually exists at home, physically. The truth is, when you are working in front of your PC most of the time, your focus and concentration neglects others and what’s happening around the house. Often, going to fetch a cup of coffee seems a distracting activity that could disrupt your attention from your work.
Why do people ending up over-working while doing their job at home is because they do not have a specific time that they must leave their office like others do. At the home, they are already home so the factors of wanting to go home and beat the rush hour is nil. At their home, no security guards will chase them out because it’s time to lock the premises. And due to the convenience of space and time, sometime a a simple 1 hour tasks could take up 3 times the duration for completion. I believed many would have their favorite music tracks on together with their online-chats, facebook and youtube at one go. The funny part is, they called it busy and needs to focus! for every time you tried to get them off their seat.
Depending on the nature of work from home that they are carrying out, some are called as the ‘teleworks’, while some are on their own home business or some freelance projects like data entry stuffs. Whatever their work maybe, big established companies are saying that working at home kills the innovation and creativity they need to keep in leading the market and therefore, they are turning away of that concept. For one, it saves on desks and some of the costs of running an extra squares of the office. Besides that, everything else are pointing negative. So, don’t try to convince your boss to let you work from home.
Not all bad was portrayed towards the idea of working at home, a study had shown that people who was let to work at home are more productive and efficient than those in the office performing the same task. However, time factor was not taken into account on this study. The study reveals that the completed task was more accurate and satisfactory. The same person who worked at the office and completed his assignments and then to do the same or similar assignments back at home produced a much better results when from the later. Of course, the boss do know how many hours do you take to complete the given task while you are in the office, but if you are at home, the boss didn’t know that you took almost the whole night to finish the assignment and you do it while catching your favorite night shows and running errands in the house.
The conclusion is, be very cautious about time management if you are to work at home. Most people are not over-worked or over-tasked; they simply over spend their time for doing their work. For those who are earning their own income from home, they likely to be always in front of the PC looking for stuffs to tweaks their websites or blogs, finding resources, marketing and checking of emails every 5 mins until somebody in the house call them off from what they are doing. These activities are really not necessary although it is important to manage your website and campaigns but put a timetable and discipline yourself on your hours in front of the PC so that you can spent more quality time with your family. Working at home after all, is about being closer to your loves one, but it’s not supposed to be this way.
