Pretty relatable if you work from home.

Working from home reduces  travelling costs, which means the cash can be spent on things you love. The result is a happier, healthier and more fun. The flexibility to work when you want to from wherever you want to. No strict dress code (unless you have online meetings!). But it also has its disadvantages.

Here's a list of some of the most common issues faced by remote workers :

1. Staying organized

When you’re working in the same space you live in, it can be easy to get disorganized. Sometimes, when you keep working on the same place, the desk may tend to get untidy.

2. Managing your time

When working from home, it's tough to organize and manage time. We tend to work around the clock and lose track of time. CheerBees recommends scheduling your day like a normal day in the office to help manage yourself. It's always good to create a schedule and work accordingly.

3. Remembering to take regular breaks

Without a structure and being in a different environment, you might forget to take regular breaks. Breaks can increase mental well being and productivity. Try setting alarms on your phone to help remind you to take breaks. Take a small break, maybe have a snack, refresh your mind and get back to work.

4. Switching off

Sometimes it can be hard to see where your work ends and leisure time begins when working remotely. Because you’re working from home, people might expect you to be available to do household chores or engage in long conversations about things unrelated to work. That's why it’s important to set boundaries, letting people know what you can and will respond to or engage in during work hours, and what you can’t or won’t. Having a set finish time could also help you to separate things.

5. Collaborating

In the office it can be easy to ask colleagues for information or updates. You might be in the same room or just a quick walk down the hall away. You don’t have this when you’re working remotely.

Interacting with other people is a positive aspect of many jobs. Yes, you’re there to work, but social contact is also important and can help with productivity. Having a feed in your chosen communication app devoted to unrelated to work topics could help. The point is to make sure to take the time while you’re working remotely to socially connect with others. This is more important now than ever, with so many people alone, working from home.

Yes, it's not all rainbows and unicorns. Although employees can potentially be more productive when they work outside of the conventional office, they're also more vulnerable to working longer hours, a more intense work pace, work-home interference, and, in some cases, greater stress.
