Over the past few weeks we have suffered from the worst cold snap in the last 30 years! Reminiscent of when I was a young girl, the ground for as far as I can see is white. A picture of pure beauty. Something I can watch, admire, but chose not to venture into. And once again I am reminded of my good fortune, that I am able to earn an excellent income and not need to leave my home to do so.
Working from home for so many is a pipedream, and for many of us that are homeworkers it can be burdensome in its own right. You know when they say too much of anything is not a good thing? Well it can be the same with working from home. Quite honestly we can suffer from:
- Cabin fever
- A difficulty to differentiate between homelife and worklife
- The absence of basic and necessary exercise
I am not moaning just pointing out the practical downside. Nonetheless the upside for so many of us homeworkers far outstrips these minor negatives. Through our home-based business we have the ability to:
- Choose my own hours
- See friends and family as I wish
- Work in my PJs – one of my favourites
- Take my vacation when I please
- Decide how and when I will work, and the list goes on…
And this week the
No. 1 benefit of working at home goes to the ability to be able to enjoy the beauty of the snow, but not be affected by the cold, sleet, and ice. The stuff of life, don’t you agree?
I find it a great benefit in the winter, especially since I hate the cold. In the summer however, that beautiful sunny day outside just entices me to come out and play. lol
