Pros: | Cons: |
You are in control of your own time and pace. | People think that they can call on you whenever they want, because you can always work later. |
You can work in your pjs, or even naked if you really want to. | You start to not care about how you look, coz no one is there to look at you. |
You can take as many breaks as you like, as long as you like. | You sometimes end up going the whole day without doing anything productive. |
You don't have to deal with difficult colleagues, bosses, classmates, etc. | You don't get to meet a lot of great people either. |
You don't have to deal with the traffic jams, and you save a lot on petrol. | Hmm...no con here, this is all good. |
You don't get interrupted in the middle of some important project by colleagues asking you to go for a drink. | It gets really lonely sometimes. |
You get a lot of quality work done and sometimes you can finish two days' work in one day. | You don't know when to quit and go on a much needed break. |
Well, there's pros and cons in everything. Right now, working at home suits me, and I really enjoy my independence. It's just sometimes when the cons rear their ugly heads that I feel just a little down.
I just need to get myself some social activities and I'll be fine. I'm just trying to think what those activities should be.
I'm hesitating a little also because I have so many activities already, at home, and if I add some social activity, it may take up too much of my time that I'm not willing to give. This is what I mean about not knowing when to take a break. I'm really pushing myself to achieve as much as I can in as little time as I can when it comes to my work.
Head knows I should take a break. Heart thinks I already take too many breaks. =P
