Going back to work on-site after the COVID-19 pandemic may have been a relief for some, but for many, they have enjoyed the experience and would like to be home more. A recent survey of 25,000 working Americans showed that 58 percent were able to work from home at least one day a week.
As a mom and business owner, many have asked me how I do it with 9 children? Today, I share 4 reasons that show how work from home is better.
Work from home can be a more productive environment.
Let’s face it, when you’re trading your time for money, such as with a traditional work environment, it is unusual that every minute of that day is spent truly doing the work assigned. Many people spend as little time working as possible while they are “on the clock.”
Recently, I had a lady who worked behind a sub counter tell me that she takes bathroom breaks just to sit down.
But when you are doing something that you are passionate about, it means more to you. Also, you are able to work smarter, rather than harder, spending time learning things that would have been above or below your paygrade at a traditional job.
This is why it is more productive when you are in business for yourself.
Some people find working from home more relaxing.
Recently, I had a family member tell me that she just watches movies in between her business phone calls at home. So she is providing a service to the society by working, while enjoying her everyday life. Very relaxing.
My children know where to find me, and I am able to choose my clients and be selective about my time. It does take an element of faith to be able to rely on your own abilities to run a business and balance finances, but it keeps me praying to God indeed!
Also, as a believer in Christ Jesus, I find it important to prioritize time to pray and to hear the voice of God clearly. When I was an employee, I did not have the time, or the joy, that I have now.
The peace that you can have when your relationship with God is doing well cannot be replaced. So if for nothing more than to be able to pray alone and for your family members with freedom, work from home is a great treat.
Work from home is better as it can be more affordable.
No more running the gasoline down on your vehicle. You can work from home. You have the freedom to go when you want to go and can often make your own schedule.
As for me, I am able to homeschool my children and give them individual attention that each of them needs while working around their needs. We make time each week to rest on the Sabbath, and to pray and read the Bible. It is great for closeness and connectivity within the family. Plus, they always know that Mommy is here when they need me.
There are many benefits to working from home.
There are endless possibilities to the ways that you can work from home in today’s world. You can be a freelancer, work part-time, or even full-time for a company, or own a corporation yourself. The key is that you get to be creative and be more available for your family and home environment, which is something that is invaluable when you are in the later stages of your life.
Conclusion
In conclusion, you see that with working from home, you can:
- Be more productive
- Relax more
- Save money
- Get back control of your time
Essentially, you hold the keys to your destiny when you are the one who makes the schedule. Why not start today?
