Working Homebased

In today's internet dominance, working homebased have been making noise over time. The existence of the internet paved way to different opportunities to many people, may it be personal or work related aspects. A lot of people, i'm sure, at this very moment are actually at home, on their couch, in their home-office, on their bed, in the garden. What could they possibly be doing? -- WORKING.

The traditional office is now getting outdated because more and more people are now being given opportunities to work at home by their respective companies. I, for example, have worked in an office before. I worked in a Business Process Outsourcing related office as a Virtual Assistant. After a year, I was given the opportunity to work at home. The office had me use one of the computer units and covered my monthly internet bill and that was the start of it. I'm sure there are people out there who have experienced the same. Aren't we so lucky to be given this opportunity? Yes, we are. Just imagine the flexibility, the family time and convenience we're getting when we're working homebased.But then, of course, there are underlying responsibilities we have to keep in mind and make sure are being met. It doesn't mean we're at home then we can get away with our work responsibilities. We have to make sure that goals related to work are met, schedules are followed; we still have to create a dividing line between family and work. Ensure that our family will not interrupt our work and vise versa. Nevertheless, working homebased, in whatever filled, is surely a fun, convenient and effective way of working.
