Contest: The Debate (Week 51); Home or Office; which is your preferred workspace
Like they always say, sometimes life throw to us what we expect least and we just need to accept it as it comes. Today I will be participating in the @sahmie in the Steem and fashion Community contest and be sharing my view how far this year have gone.
Which do you prefer: working from home or the office?
Well I will say there have been long debate about what one preferred between working from home or the office, personally I will prefer working from home because of the comfort and not only the comfort but also the productivity it offers.
For so many decades, we have been used to working from office and which always limit us which I quite understand. Since the COVID pandemic, it actually opens our eyes to see that which we are not seeing before and that is working from home.
The way you can carry out your tasks with ease and enhance productivity when you work from home is quite amazing and for me, anytime and anyday, I will always go for working from home. It is one of the best thing that can ever happen I must truly confess. It really has a way of changing a whole lot of things beyond what we can ever imagine.
Does working from home boost your productivity?
Of course yes it boost productivity, even though at the end of the day, it still point down to that particular person way of working but I will say it works effectively. I have had the opportunity to work in an office and also work from home and I must confess that comparing both of them, every single day I will go to work from home. Of course there are some reasons why working from home helps to boost a lot of productive and which I want to talk about.
The first which I myself have experienced is the fact that it helps to reduce what I called distractions. If you have ever work from home before and working from office, you will understand that working in an office can really boost a whole lot of distractions which should not be good if you want to carry out task. But when you are working from home, you can eliminate those distractions.
The other advantage that working from home have over working in an office that helps to enhance productivity is the fact that it helps to save time and helps to make one to be more focused. The fact that you have a whole lot of flexible work hours is a very great advantage that should not be joked with actually.
How does the office environment affect your mood?
One of the things I have actually come to discover is that office environment most of the time can affect ones mood and one of the ways is that if there is collaboration and social interactions within the office, it can actually go a long way to influence the mood positively because when you are working with your colleagues, you are rest assured that this feeling of happiness is eradicated.
The second one is the fact that there is this well designed space for working, it can also go a long way to enhance focus and makes sure that physical comfort is been achieved. Then the fact that you are able to gain massive recognition and feedback either from your colleagues or from your managers is a very added advantage which can at the end of the day affect the mood positively.
Do you miss social interactions when working remotely?
For me which have worked in both office and also remotely, I will say I actually miss the social interactions that exist when working in the office. The first is because working remotely, I did not have the opportunity to actually have a casual conversations. Most of the time and due to the fact that there are people around in the office either my colleagues or my boss, but working remotely, there is nothing like that because I am the only one working.
Even though it might look like I actually miss social interaction working remotely z but I will actually say I really enjoyed working remotely because it also gives me this atmosphere of privacy I want or love.
What’s your ideal work setup?
At the end of the day for me personally, I will prefer working from home or should I say remotely because it gives me this lot of privilege for me to enhance my productivity. I personally I am someone that does not like productivity and so I will definitely try as much as possible to eliminate it so that I can work effectively.
