家庭办公的7种优点

 　　The workplace niche¹ is fast evolving with many organizations offering employees the opportunity to work from home.

　　Further, many people have started preferring freelancing as opposed to a regular, office-based profiles. This highlights a growing preference of people to work from home. Here, we try to decode² the reasons why working from home is getting increasingly popular.

　　1. Freedom at Work

　　Whether you are running a home-based business or work as a freelancing article writer, working from home gives you a sense of freedom. This is felt in every aspect of home-based working. This includes wearing comfy clothes, letting your hair be untidy, eating at your desk and moving around for as many breaks you need to talk to your friends. This might induce the impression that working from home is lax. However, these are just small traits that make you feel more comfortable. The aura of an informal workplace is more soothing³. You can choose your working hours, nap when you want and decide the pace of work as per your own preference.

　　2. Define Your Remuneration

　　This might sound strange but both kinds of people, i.e. those who seek higher remuneration and those who seek a basic remuneration but relaxed working conditions can benefit from working at home. As a freelancer⁴ or a home-based entrepreneur, you can work endlessly throughout the day, across multiple ventures without being answerable to anybody. If you have a pile of cash to sit upon and seek an earning scale that covers your basic expenses, you can choose a slower pace of work.

　　3. Escape the Office Politics

　　Being a work-from-home professional, you don’t have to deal with the daily office politics or anger tantrums of your boss. You get to escape all the unpleasantness found in conventional workplaces. You are free from the negativity of jealous employees and back-biting, bitchy colleagues.

　　4. Grow Liberally, Multi-Dexterously

　　It is often said that an individual who chooses to grow constantly is more likely to be happy. This is the true definition of a progressive human being. Working from your home means you have the chance to pursue this rather difficult goal. For instance, you can gain multiple online degrees or distance education diplomas. You have the freedom to study in-between completing your assignments. You can invest more time in spiritual growth. You can expand your professional horizon too. For instance, you might want to pursue being a mystery shopper along with being a freelance, content writer!

　　5. Create More Family Time

　　This is a major lure⁵ for many people who are constantly struggling to provide sufficient time to their families. Working from home allows you the chance to indulge in daily occurrences of your household. This can be done along with doing your assignments. For instance, you can fetch the groceries whenever you seek a short break from work. You can ensure that your sick mother is given her medications on time.

　　6. Benefit from Financial Savings⁶

　　As compared to a typical professional lifestyle, working at home provides many money-saving options. For starters, you save upon fuel or commuting⁷ costs. Combine this with your wardrobe necessities to look good at the office and overhead expenses incurred⁸ in pooling for different activities, and you can get a realistic idea about the kind of money you can save. Secondly⁹, working as a freelancer, you also get the option to get paid via mediums that aren't taxed at source like your salary.

　　7. In Conclusion, Create a More Relaxed Lifestyle

　　If you are someone who seeks that daily adrenaline rush, then working at home might not be the best option for you. However, if seek a slower pace of life, less anxieties to fight and an overall, relaxed way of living, operating from home might just be your best bet.
