Working from home is a job - Part 1

The first reaction of people when you say that working from home is to envy: good work anytime, anywhere, You can also stay in his pajamas and the like. The other reaction liquid fast work from home as something one does just to pass the time and round up the revenue.

The first reaction is not entirely wrong. E 'partly true that one can work wherever and whenever he wants and dress as they want. If you want to get up at 11 am and work until midnight, you can do it very well. If you want to work in pajamas, no one sees you. If a day is sunny and you want to work in the garden, take your laptop and you sit down in the countryside. These idyllic scenes do not occur, however, almost never, because working from home is a job, and like all the work has the characteristics that debunk those myths. Also because if everything was all roses and flowers work from home. Or not?

First, it is almost never true that Work when you want-there are deadlines, timetables to be met with customers (you can not be found at odd hours), if you have a family you have to follow all times. Working from home (which almost always means that self-employment) also means that work even if you're sick (so you're at home), if you're pregnant (I know something), that if you have an urgent delivery work until you're done, without looking at the timetable. And without being paid overtime.

also work from home requires discipline, organizational skills and concentration.

E 'need to focus on work that is taking place, without succumbing to distractions (television, stereo, hobbies, housework, children screaming and you call right, etc..), often without having a place solely dedicated to work. This goes wrong, in my opinion, with the ability to work wherever you want. I do not think I would be very productive lying on a lawn in the sun with my laptop ...

E 'must also have discipline. Without the eye of a boss can sometimes get lost and distracted by something else, and then be near the end with an impressive body of work still to do.

The organization wants its part: planning work schedules, not to be overlapped with deliveries; ability to divide the work from private life (not to be always immersed in work in their free time, or, conversely, not to bring the privacy in the workplace).

Additional features required for working at home: resourcefulness, ability to handle customers in person, determination, ability to know how to arrange in various fields, resistance to stress, to know how to deal with the super work periods or otherwise the lack of revenue due to idle periods. An important component is self-esteem, to know its value even in difficult times.

Of course, it also has its advantages (which for me outweigh the disadvantages):

effective flexibility, lack of movement to go on workplace, lack of leaders who need a rush job on Friday at just 17, can say no to a job (in some cases).

In some of these issues will talk more later, as the myth that working from home is a hobby.
