The Hidden Downside of Working from Home
Yes, there are many reasons to endorse the notion of working from home, but have you thought for a minute about the downside? Here are just a few things that are really hard about working from home.
Unexpected Visitors
My neighbor stopped by the other day to visit. It was 2 in the afternoon and I was working on a proposal for a new client. Vera’s a sweet gal, but she just doesn’t get it that I’m not home popping bon-bons and watching Oprah; that I’m actually WORKING.
Four-Legged Distractions
My dog and cat love it that I’m home all day, but they’re a little unclear on the concept of boundaries. My cat Elf likes to snuggle up next to my laptop where the fan emits warm air. And my dog Maurice periodically places his sad head on my lap, staring longingly up into my face. Try to resist THAT.
Unlimited Time Syndrome
Before I sit down at my computer to work, I often think I’ll just empty the dishwasher. And while I’m at it, reload it with the dishes in the sink. Oh, and maybe just throw in a load of laundry. But before I can do that I realize the dryer is full of clean laundry that needs to be folded. Then I realize Maurice the dog has tracked muddy footprints all through the kitchen; might as well wipe them up. Oh, dear, when was the last time I watered the herbs? Yikes, how did it get to be 11 o’clock?
Notwithstanding all of that, working from home is enormously rewarding and anyone who has the gumption should definitely give it a go. And Top Dawg has a fabulous home based business opportunity that’s virtually seamless.
