The Debate (no.51); Working From Home

Hello, friends welcome to my post in which I have discussed "Home or Office; which is your preferred workspace" as part of my participation in this 👉contest organized by @sahmie

Which do you prefer: working from home or the office?

I prefer working from home. Nowadays the cost of transportation is very high with the time factor I prefer doing my work from home to going to the office. Working from home would provide me the time that I need to do other things which will also save me a lot of money.

Based on the state of the country, a lot of people now prefer working from home, I have seen someone who quit his job because of the high cost of transportation and an unconducive place of work. Working from home would give me the time to be there for my loved ones and save me from office stress.

Does working from home boost your productivity?

Sure working from home boosts my productivity which is the reason why prefer to work from the office. If I am working from home, I pay more attention to my work because there is nothing like a distraction or gossiping unlike in the office where staff would just sit idly and be gossiping.

A perfect example, doing all my Steemit work from home, which has helped me to be more productive than if I am to be doing it from the office. While working at home if I am tired I can easily take a nap, freely and start work later after I have gained strength, whereas in the office I would be working to meet the closure hours under stress which can hinder my productivity.

How does the office environment affect your mood?

One thing that I don't like in an office environment is noise which usually affects my mood. I am an introvert and someone who loves staying in a quiet and calm environment which most office environments are full of noise pollution of people, taxies, generators, and so on.

Also, the office environment is usually stressful to me which is associated with depression, substance misuse, and anxiety. Like in the office where I was working before one would have to climb steps upon steps before reaching his office. The stress of climbing those steps alone can affect someone's mood.

Do you miss social interactions when working remotely?

Honestly, I miss social interactions when working remotely. Most time I will just be feeling moody and body at home which if it were to be in the office someone would make me laugh. Loneliness at home makes me feel sad, and if I were to be working in the office I wouldn't be bored.

What’s your ideal work setup?

My ideal work setup is working in a conducive environment that has the following available in the office;

• Good seat (chair)
• Computer/ Laptop
• WiFi
• Air-conditioning
• Noiseless environment
• Well-edified environment etc.

I office that is well decorated and cool.
