Working from home is sometimes convenient / LOH Contest 281

¿Prefieres trabajar desde casa o ir a la oficina? ¿Por qué?

Para mi como artista y artesana independiente trabajar desde casa en este momento es lo mas conveniente, desearía poder trabajar también en una institución formal pero dada las condiciones de mi país no he visto la posibilidad de ejercer ninguna de mis dos carreras universitarias, por otro lado precisamente por las circunstancias tan difíciles que he estado viviendo en los últimos años debido a la escomía, poder trabajar desde casa permite que tenga menos gatos, pues no tengo que gastar en dinero para transporte hacia un lugar de trabajo, tampoco tengo gastos de ropa pues en casa trabajo hasta en pijama y tampoco tengo la necesidad de gastar en comida en la calle, sin embargo, estoy consciente que no es algo que cualquier persona pueda hacer pues depende mucho de la personalidad, al ser una persona que disfruta estar en casa se me hace mas fácil esta opción.

¿Crees que trabajar desde casa mejorará el equilibrio entre vida personal y laboral? ¿Cómo?

Yo creo que el trabajo en casa es efectivo siempre que la persona pueda mantener un equilibrio entre la vida personal y laboral, no creo que trabajar en casa ayude a encontrar ese equilibrio, sino que precisamente darle igual importancia al trabajo y a la vida personal es lo que hará posible que el trabajo en casa no sea difícil, asimismo creo que solo aquellas personas que cuentan con un ambiente adecuado en casa pueden trabajar desde allí, en mi caso yo no tengo mi área de trabajo delimitada en casa, es decir no tengo un taller, pero lo ideal seria tener un ambiente separado, igualmente la personas que hacen trabajo de oficina deberían tener un espacio apartado en casa solo para esto, no considero viable tener ejemplo la computadora en la habitación donde se duerme, también considero que una persona que trabaja en casa debe tener horarios e igualmente adaptarlos a su entorno, así como también tener el apoyo familiar o de quienes comparte el espacio.

En mi caso no tengo problemas porque solo vivo con mi mamá y mi hijo y ambos saben que cuando estoy trabajando no deben interrumpirme, asimismo mi casa es tranquila y hasta cierto punto ninguno hace actividades que puedan interrumpir mis labores, pero considero que es muy distinto por ejemplo que una madre de 5 niños pequeños pueda mantener dicho equilibrio, no lo veo imposible pero si considero que alguien en esa situación debería tener un apoyo extra pues aunque es bueno que estar presente en casa para atender a sus hijos, también creo que la carga mental de trabajar en el mismo ambiente se vuelve mucho las pesada, así que como anteriormente dije todo va a depender de si cuenta con las condiciones adecuadas para tener su espacio delimitado y su tiempo organizado dentro de casa para disfrutar de tiempo efectivo de descanso y a la vez tiempo de calidad con su familia.

Do you prefer working from home or going to the office? Why?

For me, as a freelance artist and craftsperson, working from home is currently the most convenient option. I would like to work in a formal institution, but given the conditions in my country, I haven't seen the possibility of practicing either of my two university degrees. On the other hand, precisely because of the very difficult circumstances I've been experiencing in recent years due to the economic crisis, being able to work from home means I have fewer expenses, since I don't have to spend money on transportation to a workplace, nor do I have clothing expenses because I can even work in my pajamas at home, and I don't need to spend money on food out. However, I'm aware that it's not something everyone can do, as it depends a lot on personality. Being someone who enjoys being at home makes this option easier for me.

Do you think working from home will improve work-life balance? How?

I believe that working from home is effective as long as a person can maintain a balance between their personal and professional life. I don't think working from home itself helps to find that balance; rather, giving equal importance to work and personal life is what will make working from home less difficult. Likewise, I believe that only those who have a suitable environment at home can work from there. In my case, I don't have a designated workspace at home—that is, I don't have a workshop—but ideally, I would have a separate space. Similarly, people who do office work should have a separate space at home just for that. I don't think it's viable, for example, to have a computer in the bedroom. I also believe that a person who works from home should have a schedule and adapt it to their environment, as well as have the support of family or those who share the space.

In my case, I don't have any problems because I only live with my mother and my son, and they both know that when I'm working, they shouldn't interrupt me. Also, my house is quiet, and to a certain extent, neither of us does anything that might disrupt my work. But I think it's very different, for example, for a mother of five young children to maintain that balance. I don't see it as impossible, but I do think someone in that situation should have extra support. While it's good to be home to care for their children, I also think the mental load of working in the same environment becomes much heavier. So, as I said before, it all depends on whether they have the right conditions to have their own defined space and organized time at home to enjoy effective rest time and, at the same time, quality time with their family.

Every one of this aspect depends on the individual decisions. Working from home is good but like you said, there are little, little implications that could ruin achievements. We really need to sit down and plan.

Exactly my point.
Understanding your personality before choosing.
It's easy to choose work from home but how productive would you be?
We do what works and whatever is available

It would be great to have a separate space, like a room, for your crafts, where you can keep your materials organized, and also have a designated area for your computer to post on Hive.

It's wonderful that you have the support of your mom, my dear @yole, and Rafael, who perfectly understand when you switch into work mode. It's so true that everyone's situation is different, like that of a mother with several young children. It's always a pleasure to read your posts. Good luck in the contest and blessings 🙏🏼

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sería genial tener un espacio aparte, como una habitación para realizar tus trabajos artesanales, donde tengas los materiales distribuidos, además del espacio establecido en el mismo, para la computadora donde realizaras tus publicaciones en Hive.

Que bueno que en casa cuentes con el apoyo de tu mami, mi querida @yole y de Rafael, que entienden perfectamente cuando entras en modo trabajo y es muy cierto que casa realidad es diferente, dependiendo de su situación, como la de una madre con varios niños pequeños. Siempre es un gusto leerte. Suerte en el concurso y bendiciones 🙏🏼

That's why people working from are flexible. They adopt on their clients working time, so that's foreign time.
The positive part is, WFH can make you stay close with your kids, and look after them while working.
May I know your degree? I might be able to suggest some WFH niche that suits for you , 😊

Thank you very much. Well, I have two degrees, the first in education and the second in fine arts 😄 In my country, both of these fields are quite difficult to find work in.
