The Pros & Cons of Working At Home

At last! Another week has ended. And it's been two weeks or so since I started to work at home. It's both fun and pressure. Yes, pressure because I still hasn't learned to "fully" discipline myself. I could still find myself catching up with time. But nevertheless, all is well. It's kind of better compared to the kind of stress that working in a "care-less" company could give. I feel more in-control of myself. It's not like I don't fancy working with a group. In fact, I'm a teamplayer. It's just that, things got out of hand with my previous employer. Even so, I will always cherish the moments I spent on that company. There's no point bearing grudges on anybody. 

I have a lot of plans, even before I started. I thought of implementing a consistent exercise routine because that was one of the many important things that I thought I had no time to deal with. But of course, the truth is that I was only pretty lazy to do so. Now that I have more time and freedom to do so, I thought it should be one of my priorities. Right now, it's kind of difficult to immediately put my plans into action. But I know that I will eventually be able to achieve my goals and long-term plans. *hopefully :)

Working at home has a lot of pros and cons. If you're rather disciplined and determined to stick to your schedule, then you can certainly do a lot of more productive things. But if you're the type who always thinks that he could beat the challenge of time and the mood swings of fate, then you're likely find yourself stressed out for being lax and irresponsible. And I don't want to become one of those who didn't "make it big" in the field of home-based working. So I better straighten myself out and be up to becoming a better person. nyay!

pros:
- I can wake up late, provided the boss is okay with extending work schedule
- I can do push-ups, squats and other hilarious exercise/stretching routines when I'm bored or sleepy during working hours
- I can watch tv or listen to loud music of my choice
- I can take a nap? (but of course! as long as there's no deadline or the boss is out. lol)
- I can roam around the house and do whatever I want to (doesn't make sense at all. haha)
- I can do some household chores?
- many other things, I'm the boss and the keeper of my own time
- less travel expenses and other expenditures
- I don't have to comb my hair or dress decently (hahaha)
- I don't need to interact with immature and stupid people
- I get to challenge myself to become more disciplined, passionate and responsible

cons:
- I'm doomed if I'm lazy
- I don't get to ride public transpo more often
- I only have little exercise if I don't make it a point that I do strict, regular exercise routines
- I'll get fatter if I don't control myself
- Perhaps I'll suffer from separation anxiety since I'm a people-person?
- I don't get to witness other wonders of life or experience the real-world?
- I get easily distracted, more temptations I guess
- many other things I'm too-lazy and too tired to discuss any longer

Well, that's all for now. I have finally decided to blog once a week now that I have 'enough' time and freedom. See you again next week! nyahahaha
