Benefits of working from home 2
I’ve been sitting here today writing on my laptop thinking how lucky I am. It’s not everyone who sits in an office with a changing wallpaper like this. Certainly, this is one of main benefits of working from home.
My office wallpaper
Today has been a little cloudy at times with a cool breeze blowing of the sea, interspersed with bouts of warm sunshine. As the seasons change so does my office wallpaper. Would I prefer to sit in an office, lit by artificial lighting, listening to phones ringing, people constantly chatting, surrounded by computers and machines. I have to say no, I much prefer to work from home.
Gunfleet Sands
On the horizon I can also watch the latest local development, the Gunfleet Windfarm, taking shape. A major project of 48 wind turbines built on Gunfleet Sands, 7km off the coast.
Of course there has been much controversy locally whether or not to build the windfarm. There has been a lot off opposition to the project, however it is well on the way now with a projected full production by 2012, providing 20% of electricity needed by Essex County.
Just further up the east coast we have Sizewell, a nuclear power station. Personally thinking of our future generations, windfarms although unsightly are less damaging to our environment that any nuclear disaster.
Working from home
There are many distractions, like watching the view in my case, when working from home, however one must learn self discipline and learn to focus on the job in hand. Having your goal firmly in front of you, whether you work for yourself or you are a tele-commutter working from home, the better the focus the faster the work gets done, leaving more time for the other important things in your life.
