As the landscape of work as we know it begins to change – perhaps permanently – a whole new meaning is being given to “work-life balance.”
Without a clear delineation between your personal and professional spheres, your productivity – and your sanity – are at stake. We hate to burst your bubble, but working from home isn’t all sleeping through your normal commute, never missing a delivery and copious pet snuggles. Ok, it’s definitely some of that too, but it’s only one piece of the pie.
Working from home requires an allegiance to boundaries (and snacks – naturally). Do it long enough and you’re bound to feel the dull ache of loneliness, the constant pangs of distraction, or both.
All that said, get yourself set up for success and the time you spend telecommuting could be your most productive yet.
