Hola querida comunidad @ladiesofhive
Las preguntas de esta semana me hicieron detenerme en algo que, para muchos, es una elección… pero que en mi caso siempre ha sido una realidad definida por la vocación.
¿Prefieres trabajar desde casa o ir a la oficina?
Nunca he trabajado en una oficina en el sentido tradicional. Mi día a día transcurre entre consultas médicas y guardias en el hospital, espacios donde el tiempo no siempre nos pertenece y donde cada jornada trae consigo lo inesperado.
Trabajar desde casa, en mi profesión, no es una opción real. La medicina exige presencia, contacto humano, observación directa. No se puede sustituir la mirada atenta a un paciente, ni el valor de estar ahí en el momento en que alguien más lo necesita.
Sin embargo, eso no significa que no piense en lo que implicaría.
Imagino que trabajar desde casa tendría su propia calma: menos ruido externo, más control del tiempo, quizás una pausa para un café sin la urgencia de una llamada o una emergencia. Pero también creo que perdería algo esencial: esa conexión humana que le da sentido a lo que hago.
En mi caso, no es una preferencia. Es un compromiso.
¿Crees que trabajar desde casa mejorará el equilibrio entre vida personal y laboral? ¿Cómo?
Creo que puede hacerlo… pero no de forma automática.
Trabajar desde casa puede ofrecer algo muy valioso: flexibilidad. La posibilidad de organizar mejor el tiempo, de estar más cerca de los afectos, de crear pausas conscientes dentro del día.
Pero también tiene un riesgo silencioso: que los límites se diluyan.
Cuando el espacio de trabajo y el espacio personal se mezclan, puede volverse difícil desconectar. El día no termina del todo. Las responsabilidades se extienden más allá del horario. Y sin darnos cuenta, lo laboral invade lo personal.
El equilibrio, entonces, no depende solo del lugar, sino de la capacidad de establecer fronteras.
Desde mi realidad, ese equilibrio lo busco de otra forma. Lo encuentro en pequeños momentos después de una guardia, en el silencio al llegar a casa, en una taza caliente entre las manos o en unos minutos de descanso donde el cuerpo y la mente finalmente se permiten soltar.
No siempre es perfecto. A veces es incluso difícil. Pero aprendo a valorar esos espacios como si fueran pequeños refugios.
Tal vez no todos podamos elegir desde dónde trabajar, pero sí podemos aprender a cuidar cómo vivimos dentro de ese ritmo.
Porque al final, el equilibrio no es un lugar… es una forma de sostenernos.
Gracias por estas preguntas que invitan a mirar nuestra rutina con más conciencia.
Un abrazo sincero para todas

Between Vocation and Personal Space

Hello dear @ladiesofhive community
This week’s questions made me pause and reflect on something that, for many, is a choice… but in my case has always been defined by vocation.
Do you prefer working from home or going to the office?
I have never worked in an office in the traditional sense. My days are spent between medical consultations and hospital shifts, spaces where time is not always ours and where each day brings the unexpected.
Working from home, in my profession, is not a real option. Medicine requires presence, human contact, direct observation. You cannot replace the attentive look at a patient, nor the value of being there the moment someone needs you.
However, that doesn’t mean I don’t imagine what it would be like.
I picture working from home as having its own calm: less external noise, more control of time, perhaps a quiet pause for coffee without the urgency of a call or an emergency. But I also think I would miss something essential: that human connection that gives meaning to what I do.
In my case, it’s not a preference. It’s a commitment.
Do you think working from home will improve the balance between personal and work life? How?
I believe it can… but not automatically.
Working from home can offer something very valuable: flexibility. The ability to better organize your time, to be closer to loved ones, to create conscious pauses during the day.
But there is also a silent risk: boundaries can blur.
When work and personal space merge, it can become difficult to disconnect. The day doesn’t fully end. Responsibilities extend beyond scheduled hours. And without realizing it, work invades personal life.
Balance, then, doesn’t depend only on the place, but on the ability to establish boundaries.
In my reality, I find that balance in another way. I find it in small moments after a shift, in the quiet upon arriving home, in a warm cup in my hands, or a few minutes of rest where body and mind finally allow themselves to release.
It’s not always perfect. Sometimes it’s even difficult. But I learn to value these moments as if they were little refuges.
Perhaps not all of us can choose where we work, but we can learn to take care of how we live within that rhythm.
Because in the end, balance is not a place… it is a way of holding ourselves.
Thank you for these questions that invite us to reflect on our daily routine with more awareness.
A sincere hug to all

Yes, boundaries can be blurred. But by being intentional, having extra focuse to completely achieve the original expectations of working from home.
We can fix it and get it right, life is about change.
You’re absolutely right, intention and discipline make a big difference when it comes to balance. When we are clear about what we want to protect, it becomes easier to maintain those boundaries, even in spaces where everything tends to blend together.
And I also agree with what you mentioned: life is constant change. Perhaps the real challenge is not to avoid it, but to learn how to adapt without losing ourselves in the process.
Thank you for sharing your perspective
Thank you 💛
Thank you immensely, I have learned so much from your reply. Keep engaging, have a nice day!
So true. I've been in Nursing care for over 25 years. A patient is more than just a medical record and lab results but a human being in need can reveal and communicate more information than medical data alone.
Thanks for sharing @isaacmf123

Actually, there are options for medical practitioners in the virtual assistant niche. They are called medical VA.
They act as assistants working for different medical centers, but virtually. And medical VA, I guess, pays higher if I would compare it with the nurse salary here in the Philippines 😊
Thank you for sharing that information, it’s very interesting to learn about those alternatives within the medical field. Virtual work certainly opens new possibilities and new ways of practicing the profession.
In my case, I still feel very connected to the in-person side of medicine, to that direct contact that cannot always be translated into a virtual space. But I do think it’s valuable that different options exist, since each reality and each country has its own paths.
A hug
