Work from Home Happiness

Get Hired. Be Happy. From Home.

Achieve Work Life Balance from Home

Is work from home work life balance even possible? Yes, it is. However, it's not easy.

Remember, you work and live in a single place. As a result, your professional and personal lives blur together.

Likewise, it's difficult to separate them. For example, remote workers often

  • Get distracted by house happenings
  • Work after hours or on weekends
  • Complete household chores on the clock
  • Are interrupted by spouses, children, roommates
  • Find it difficult to focus

Generally, remote workers are more productive. However, they typically work more hours. A recent study by SHRM showed that:

  • 70% of remote workers now work weekends
  • 45% worked more hours
  • Remote working parents logged more than eight hours per day and often worked weekends

Obviously, remote work offers a lot of benefits like:

  • Increased productivity
  • No commute
  • Money & time saved

Even so, many struggle with work from home work life balance.

So, what's the solution? I share plenty of tips to provide better balance on Work from Home Happiness.

These suggestions help remote workers:

  • Set boundaries
  • Stick to work schedules
  • Prioritize tasks
  • Plan for personal time
  • Disconnect outside of work hours
  • Learn to say no

Generally speaking, remote workers are always connected. For instance, they can head into "the office" in a matter of seconds. Often, this results in working off the clock. This leads to a major imbalance in time spent on work and life. As a result, relationships suffer and mental health declines.

In any event, remote work is amazing. Just remember to practice work from home work life balance.
