Have you ever wanted to be your boss? Ever wanted not to have to wake up, and get dressed for work? I have always been a big fan of working from home. I use to go to the office on an almost-daily basis; I find that when I work from home, I can get a lot more accomplished. Working from home saves me money and time. Working remotely is important to me because you can save money, save up on time which frees up time for more activities, new relationships, and the ability to set your schedule.
Working from home has saved me money in many ways I would not have never imagined. I no longer have to travel 40 miles for work a day, that there is an instant saving on gas. I have also saved money on food, For example, eating lunch, as I can grocery shop, and I have a full kitchen to be able to cook instead of spending $8-$12 on lunch a day. Another way working from home has saved me money is I am no longer in need of after school care for my child, I can get him off the bus and save on that weekly expense. Those are just some ways that working from home has saved me money.
Working from home has allowed me to have a better management on my time management skills. I have honestly been able to get done more chores around the house while on the clock then when I am off. You find yourself with an extra 5 minutes here and there, that allows for doing laundry, dishes, and just time to tidy up the house. My time has also freed up because I can work and socialize at the same time without getting into trouble with my bosses. I can make appointments during the weekday and not have to worry about weather weekend appointments are offered. Working from home has given me a lot more flexibility.
The best thing about working from home for me is me being able to set up my schedule. If I have an appointment in the morning, I can log in for work after the designation. There have been so many times my son has an early meeting, and I am late to work and missing an hour, well now that does not matter I just stay clocked in until I work my 8 hours. Working from home is also beneficial in this way for me because if I am at home bored I can log in and make some money. This allows me to make more money because I am going into overtime if I have already worked my 8 hours. I can honestly work whenever I want and as much as I want.
For me working from home is an excellent benefit. The savings on the gas and time is a huge plus for me. Working from home allows you to eat better, save more money, have more time for friends and family, and get a lot more done during the week you most likely would not normally have. Unfortunately, not many employers allow you to work from home if you have the benefit it's worth taking advantage.
