If anyone asked me five years ago, which is my dream job, I would say, “Anything, as long as I work from home.”

The traffic, the lack of parking shots, moving within the city center and beyond the terrible driving behavior of people made me furious. Five years later, here comes the time that my dream comes true.

Unfortunately, the dream was in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may be quite confusing. Working from home has been the only solution for a significant part of the working force since we are still living unstoppable lockdowns.

Being forced to stay home made me experience all the benefits of working from home. For the skeptics, I will list a few of the positives I have identified in the period of remote working.

• Waking up in the morning for many seems like a tough job, especially for those whose body refuses to work with the alarm clock. Working from home saves at least half an hour of sleep as preparation and transfer time to the workplace is significantly reduced.

• During the day, the time required for commuting to and from work for many people reaches 1/3 of working hours. This time is saved and can now be dedicated to family, friends, and why not to ourselves!

• Working from home gives you a sense of freedom. You are exclusively in your own space, which you can customize according to your own choices and your taste. You can also make the choices you want regarding your schedule, the way you work, and even your clothes.

• Another positive aspect of working from home is diet. By working from home, you have the opportunity to organize your meals and adopt a healthy diet. Also, in the general saving of time and adopting a more nutritious diet, the need for exercise arises!

• In addition to saving time, working from home also saves money. Transportation costs (petrol, tickets, tolls) are eliminated. If you consider the cost of such an attractive takeaway/delivery, the amount you save per month increases significantly.

• Calmness and concentration. How calm and focused can you stay when, while working, your colleagues distract you within a workplace? Working from home allows you to keep quiet and concentrate more quickly on the work you have undertaken. Without stops, small talks, any distractions, life can be much more peaceful!

However, like any working environment like this, work from home is not all roses. But with positive thinking and a little more optimism, even you can overcome even the toughest challenges...
