Things I know for sure about working from home

As busy as it is at the moment, the more things I cross off the list, the lest anxious I am getting. I am now done with my big client projects so I can now start regrouping a little work wise and get organised for the new year. I am really looking forward to getting away though and taking a proper time out. I started working from home nearly 6 years ago! I can’t even really remember being in a normal 9-5 and will probably never return to the structure and confines of corporate life, even though I would really love the regular, stable pay check!

But this is what I know for sure about working at home.

• Coffee breaks aren’t the same, there is no one to make small talk with or even to offer to make you a cup.
• It is lonely. Some days it is just too quiet and I wouldn’t mind the irritating colleague (but only for a few minutes).
• I can watch Chicago PD while I work.
• Working in my pj’s is completely acceptable.
• I can work my schedule around my kids.
• 4am is a perfectly acceptable time to start your day.
• Home printers are just as tempremental as office printers.
• I can work from anywhere, anytime. 
• If I work really hard for 2 days I get to take 2 days off without needing to put leave in.
• It is a lot harder to switch off. 
• You learn pretty quickly how to work with a baby on your lap. 

If you work from home what do you know?
