Keep all communications clear:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

When you work from home, it is very important to keep a record of all important communications. I am telling you this from my personal experience. Some of your colleagues may give you half the information or wrong information. But they will not admit to it if something goes wrong\u00a0as a result. Also, keep a record of the information that flows from you. Because someone might end up declaring you didn\u2019t tell them anything.<\/p>\n

Also, office politics might come into play with this. And office politics is very hard to fight against when you are not in the office. People can say anything against you because you are not there to defend yourself. Also, it is easier for the manager to believe the employees working in the office than the ones working from home.<\/p>\n

This not only lowers your reputation in your company, but it also creates unnecessary stress and frustration too. So, while you are working from home, keep a meticulous record of every important information you give or receive.<\/p>\n

   Say no to stress and overwork:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   Another problem with working from home is that your colleagues and manager can\u2019t see you working. And that makes it harder for them to realize your workload. As a result, no matter how much you work, people would still feel you are sitting idle at home. And so, they\u2019ll push more work your way.<\/p>\n

   You must stay on your guard against this. Otherwise, your workload will go on increasing and still the people will think you are free for more work. Ultimately, you\u2019ll feel frustrated, stressed out, and might even experience a burnout. I did, and suffered several adverse effects as a result. Don\u2019t let it happen to you.<\/p>\n

   Conclusion:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

   Working from home may save you from commuting and watchful eyes of your manager. But it is not as comfortable as it sounds. And if you are not careful, you can damage your health and fall prey to office politics and work stress. Working from home can get lonely and depressing too. So stay in touch with your friends and colleagues and keep yourself motivated. And you must discipline yourself and manage your time and routine strictly. If you do that, you can enjoy the advantages of working from home without suffering its negative effects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
