To begin with, we will address the reality of working from home, as evidenced by thousands of people who have contributed to studies, chat rooms, forums and other information-gathering media.

It is very normal to see the prospect of working at home with the proverbial ‘rose-colored glasses’ – to think of it as a dream-like, perfect reality – wishing for it without considering the true consequences, both good and bad.

Interestingly, some of the very things that make working from home so appealing are also those things which present challenges. For instance, you may dream of not having a boss looking over your shoulder every minute, but have you been honest with yourself about whether you have the personal discipline to work unattended for many hours every day? Without imposed goals, deadlines and pressure many people flail and feel directionless, causing them to be unproductive and scattered in their efforts.

According to our research, the top pros and cons involved with working from home include but are not limited to:

PROS

• Time management and flexibility
• Reduction or elimination of commute costs
• Minimal supervision
• Opportunity to be creative, think outside the box and work on own projects
• More time at home – to focus on personal priorities
• No dress code
• Comfortable environment

CONS

• Balance – unless your time is scheduled you can easily work too much or too little, in comparison to other priorities
• Less social interaction – you’ll need to consciously make time to see people outside of your home so that you keep an active social life
• Strain – many people find they work even more while at home, and it can be difficult to stop. Headaches, burn out, eye strain and mental pressure can be challenges
• Lack of discipline – others find they lounge around and cannot bring themselves to stick to a plan, causing marked decrease in productivity
• No encouragement or acknowledgement
• Boredom or restlessness – many people are surprised to find that they feel restless or bored when remaining in the same place all day every day. This can even lead to lethargy or depression.
