A CHALLENGE and SURPRISE!
It was a great opportunity for a lifestyle change. There was no rushing to leave home and no skipping breakfast as well. I could save money, exercise and discover myself more with new skills and abilities. It might seem like freedom but it came with responsibility.
Of course, not everything was positive!
On the flip side, I faced with loneliness as there was no social interactions, but instead there were many distractions like TV, social media, limited working space and environment.
Nevertheless, working from home has taught me to draw a line between personal life and professional life. It trained me to stay focused, have self-control and discipline and manage time to work effectively.
This pandemic has made me feel that the home office is good but it also got me thinking of my office, colleagues and clients even more…
