Many businesses collapsed, some lost their great jobs, and many are still jobless. All because of COVID-19 that is stopping people from going out to work. Businesses that are well established preferred Work from home. Even the company where I am currently working planned to work from home. Do you know my first reaction? I was very happy in the beginning days because it reduced my expenses of going from home to office. Not only that, there were many such expenses that were eliminated. But as every day passed, I felt like I was doing nothing as all monotonous work was going on.


Let me elaborate here: I felt like my work productivity declined completely. The way I performed when working from the office, I was not giving a hundred percent while working from home. During office time, I saw many Hollywood/Bollywood web series with my elder brother. Even my family said many times, “Have you completed your work? The team leader didn’t share any tasks with you because you are not on your laptop?” And I was like, “There is no work today. I will manage.” To be honest, it could be easy for me to seek many courses or to prefer Freelancing side by side, but unfortunately, I was in Relax mode totally. It was one of my biggest mistakes!

Secondly, when I was working from home I went to the market several times to buy something during office hours. Without any doubt, this was another distraction for me. Working from home doesn't mean you will do your personal work during office hours. I guess taking Freedom in this way is absolutely wrong. This is another mistake which I want everyone to learn from and work just like you do in the office.


During Lunch time, I took long Breaks. I kept myself busy using mobile phones, playing online games, etc because I knew nobody was watching and I can give any excuse. Well, it was not only a loss to the company but also to me. This is why I don't like working from home. In Lieu of seeking new opportunities or boosting skills, I wasted many weeks, months last year. I will not blame others here as it was me who was busy in relaxation mode. Well, I heard the immense advantages of working from home but why I didn’t grab any advantage when I was at home. I know my mistake but nevertheless, I don’t like working from home. I was missing the Office environment, more creativity, etc during working from home. If someone asked me to choose between office work or working from home, I would still recommend going to the office. Though working from home has bundles of benefits, but according to my experience, I will not say to work from your home.
