Work from Home- Happiness - My first experience

I am in Mumbai for about two and half years, and while it's a great place in many ways, the only thing that kept me here is my Job.

Travelling in a city which never sleeps has its own challenges that will crash all your energy even before you start your day at office sometimes.

But it makes it worse if people are not around you (Especially for our extrovert colleagues).

So when you get this opportunity to work from home (for few of you it may be the first time), you feel adrenaline rush just by the thought that you will get more time with your family.

First few days, you will be on fire as No distractions / no noises are there but later the fomo strikes you. 

So Work from Home is fun but I can tell you that it is not that easy sometimes!!

Work from Home has seen changing dimensions of independent Woman. They actually broken the myth and managed home and work like superwoman.

All of a sudden, a cool dude man turns into a caring Husband/ Father and realizes the importance of their better half more.

We know it's not difficult to get a Milk Packet from dairy, but how many of us were doing it:

 We use to pretend that we are busy but now we all do it with ease. How!!

Work from home has developed a sense of affection and told us that small things do matter for your wife/Husband/mother/father/child.

PS: for the guys out there, now that you have set the expectation high, you might need to live up to it for whole life. :)

But having said that, being in office is a fun as always.

 As they say “Our brain changes in presence of another person and their behavior "having a bunch of guys next to you, all doing the same kind of stuff, makes it more fun.

As the real and virtual can never quite coincide, that feeling can't be simulated using tools like MS TEAMS:

You may lose your social skills as you won't interact much with outer world face to face but in the same time the other part of coin will shine bright.

While no one is watching you around the clock, it's not easy to stay focused.

Fun fact: Few of us might have been using the same pair of t-shirt/pajamas for a weak long.

You need a lot of discipline to keep the momentum.  : It’s easy to stay focused when everyone around you is working for the same goal.

A personal thought, which I strongly felt……..When you have a bad day at work you still have the sense of some efforts ,like you crossed that huge traffic  to  reach office,  attended some meetings , complete your day task

And then you reach home, so actually you did something there and if you have done the dishes post reaching home or stopped by super market to buy the list of items send in your WHTSAPP from the home ministry is cherry on cake.

 But when you work from home and you have a bad day, that cherry on cake might taste sour.

Fun Fact- We Crib a lot that due to office busy schedule/travel  we don't get time to work out and stay  healthy , but now when we have all the  time in the world, how many of us actually doing  this  :)

So yes, Work from Home has both Pros & cons, but if you channelized your energy in a right direction, work from Home is as much fun as working from office is!!

Stay Safe & Stay Home and let’s connect soon!!!
