The Challenges of Working from Home
Rawtream Web Filtering is a powerful web security solution for all your endpoints.
Working from home has its advantages (no commute!), but presents its own challenges.
Working in a office provides structure and routine. You may not stop for a lunch break, but colleagues getting up for a lunch break serves as a reminder that you’re skipping a break.
No Structure
At home however, these reminders and routines are no longer there. Hours can quickly fly-by and day merges into night. Forgetting to switch off and day merges into night.
The other challenge with a lack of structure is that important work may be relegated to the bottom of the pile. Being able to prioritize work is important. Get the biggest most important task out of the way. Such tasks take up much more mental energy than they deserve and getting them out of the way first frees up the rest of the day.
Distractions & Interruptions
Netflix, pets, and an infinity facebook feed are ever-present temptations. You could work on that report or you could finish the last episode of the season… We’re all human and that quick scroll through Instagram can quickly turn into an hour long distraction.
