I greatly prefer working from home, for so many reasons. It's easier to focus (less noise from others), I get 2 hours of my life back every day by not having to commute, I don't have to go outside in these cold winter months, I can be comfortable, I can sing to myself, and at least 5 more reasons haha

I enjoy being in the office but I really do love wfh: 1. I get more sleep which is HUGE for my mental health and overall wellness 2. I can keep up with my personal life/errands during quick breaks 3. No commute, reduces gas/transportation costs and saves time 4. I save money eating more breakfast and lunches at home 5. More flexibility with my schedule, especially being able to workout whenever I want!! Huge for keeping me sane and active. I have a hard time being motivated to workout after a strict 9-5 schedule

A tip for not getting burnt out while working at home, get dressed everyday then go take a walk (maybe grab a coffee) before work, this really helps me be in “work mode”

[@TheShelbyReed]

I love working from home. I don’t have to get up as early because I don’t really have to “get ready” like I used to. I’ve gained an hour or more back from not having a commute. I now use my hour lunch break to do chores around the house so I have more time to relax after work. The best part is I get to be with my dogs all day. I’m dreading going back to the office.

I also started a job working from home at the beginning of the pandemic in April. Then we got back to the office eventually but after a few months they sent us back to working from home but coming into the office one day a week. So now I work from home Mon-Thurs and only go to the office on Fridays. It took a long time for me to get used to it, but now after almost a year I think finally getting the hang of it. I would prefer going into an office everyday so I could better separate work and home life. That’s the toughest part. I just had to make myself a routine so I could feel a little bit more like I have control between work and off hours.

[@Erika-ym8vc]

Couldn't relate more to what you said about how physically going into the office helps you with the work/life balance and finding that balance and control between work and off hours!!!!

[@B3CKiiSTAH]

Before COVID I used to only work from home on Friday's but then that changed to the full work week. I'm now at a job that's fully remote even without COVID and I'm so happy because I really enjoy working from home because I can sleep in for longer and use the time I would have spent commuting to work out. Singing aloud to music and naps at lunch are also great! I do sometimes miss the hustle and bustle, so will probably do like 80% at home and 20% in a working space/office when they're open, but definitely prefer being at home for the most part, especially during the winter/or miserable rainy days in London!

[@cait.]

I’ve been an essential worker this entire pandemic, but I was finally able to accept a work from home position earlier this month!

I am so thankful for this new opportunity in my life 🤍

Do you have any tips of finding a job with little experience and so much competition? I ve been struggling for months:(

[@emma8526]

Make sure you have a ton of keywords in your cover letter and resume. If you are struggling to land interviews this will up your chances since most companies use programs to detect these keywords. If you don't have enough they won't even look at your resume!

[@AmberMusic121]

I would recommend also joining agencies that help find temp or temp to perm work because then you could be on their radar and places like to hire internally

[@heyyyyyy2546]

@@AmberMusic121 piggy backing with adding that Temp is a great way to build your resume. Adding in business sounding vocabulary also helps. If you need some with getting a job, a company called TemPositions will help. 🙂

[@cheyennemarie7075]

@@emma8526 This! Wording is so important. Something else I learned recently is that the programs many large companies use to parse resumes and cover letters struggle with PDFs, so if you’re submitting to the kind of company that would use those services (usually larger companies that have more applicants to sort through), you should submit your resume/cover letter as Word documents (Google docs can export as a .docx too)

[@christine44]

My mental health did not do well the 20 weeks I had to work from home last year. Maybe if I had a second bedroom or someway of closing off my work space at the end of the day I might have done better but I was at my kitchen table with 3 monitors and a printer scanner so was having trouble separating work and home. I am fortunate enough that I work for a company that understands that and has allowed me to come into the office. In normal times there are 300 of us.. right now there are 10.. so being able to properly social distance is not an issue.

[@paulasnavely9421]

I started teleworking from home back in November and I’m loving it! I love being able to sleep in, work in comfy sweats, eat breakfast and lunch right at home, etc. I’m very much a homebody so being home makes me very happy. 😂 I’m sort of not looking forward to potentially going back into the office, but it would be nice being able to see my coworkers in person to help build those relationships.

[@ShannonQT85]

Are you using the same cable company in your new apartment? If so they should just let you take the equipment with you and you can set it up at your new place. That’s what happened when I moved. Literally just took it...plugged it in...called the cable company and over the phone they made sure the signal was set up and then I was good to go. Didn’t need to send anyone out.

[@brittanyfosberg1029]

I like being in an office setting; but given the choice, I would prefer to work from home like 90% of the time and only come in for meetings or events. I got to work remotely at the end of my last job in March-April, and loved it. I’m also used to having an atrocious commute, so the possibility of having an extra 2-3 hours available in my day is reason enough to be remote.

[@noahspeaker1455]

Congratulations on starting the new job! Also, can't wait to see your new apartment and how you decide to decorate it. I love moving vlogs so much

[@BaileyB1011]

I prefer working at the office because of the mental benefits. Yes working from home is super handy! I love being able to go on walks during my lunch or doing laundry on a break etc. But for me, the convenience wasn’t worth the struggle of not having a work life balance. I was salary and it was sooooo hard to stop working when I knew I had more to work on and I was working in a studio situation so it was a few feet away. My ideal would be working in the office Mon, Tues and Thursday but home Wednesday and Friday 😁. From my experience definitely set yourself boundaries! It helped me to also schedule something right at the end of the work day (normally it would be a FaceTime call or something silly like groceries or gas, anything to break the work day)

[@emily409673]

I started a remote job back in august and I totally get what you mean about how it's easier to be focused when you're in an office and not working from home. I'm a contact tracer with a private research company that's contracted to work with my state. There's lulls sometimes because there's times we have no cases to call depending on the number of cases the state is reporting to us. It's so easy to get distracted and start doing other things since I'm home. I literally got distracted once and decided to sand and paint the drawer fronts of my dresser I was refinishing( got it for $5)

[@kaekae198]

I started a new job WFH and I have gotten to like it a lot more over time! It gives me so much more control over my day, although I do wish I had "that first time in the office feeling." I've been thinking about doing a flex schedule and going into the office two or three days a week once the pandemic calms down, but we will see. Best of luck on your new journey!!

[@itskatiiexo]

I looove working from home. I started working in a corporate office in March 2019, and went remote March 2020 (obvi :) ). So now that I’ve had a year of each, there are definitely pros and cons to both. I understand people’s issue with the work/life balance, but i feel i actually have a better balance now. My commute used to be a total of almost 3 hours (Long Island to NYC), so i am able to sleep in & when my day is done at 5, it’s truly done & i don’t have to commute home. It’s also nice that my computer is supplied by my company, so I’m not doing personal and work things on the same device - which i prefer. Idk how I’d be if i started a new job remote... my company has hired a lot since being WFH and they all seem to be adjusting well, so it’s probably a company-by-company basis on how well they prepare you.

I’m a nurse, so I can’t work from home with my specialty. I like having to get up and look (somewhat) presentable and socializing with humanity. Sometimes I fantasize about staying home, but I probably wouldn’t be as motivated. My daughter prefers f2f school rather than digital learning as well, but I find her to be less stressed when she stays home for school. More calming environment.

[@jenniferwagner1482]

Just started a new job in a completely new industry for me and from home. I find it way more stressful so far because there are so many questions on the first day and zoom meetings only go so far. I am also having trouble with the company provided equipment. I had to use my iPhone all day yesterday. Thinking positive for a better day today. I have a conference call at 10 with tech so hopefully we will get it straight. Can’t wait to get into the office. We have to all be vaccinated before we can go into the office so I am hoping by summer I will meet my co workers. Have a great day!!!! ❤️❤️

I way prefer working from home. I work one town over and I can spend 2-3 hours a day commuting depending on traffic. Plus my job I have to log into my work computer and their network to do my job, so it's not something I can really do outside of my specific working hours. Worse part is their set up is dual screen so it takes up some space but that's an easy trade considering the perks to being at home.

I don’t work due to chronic illnesses but my husband use to work in an office environment before covid and of course got moved to remote afterwards. He slightly prefers working from home because he does have to commute, can eat lunch with me, and even take a nap ☺️ He does miss some of that in person interaction and would be happy with like an 70% remote to 30% office in an ideal situation.

I enjoy not worrying about my commute, getting that time in the morning to read/journal or at night it doesn’t feel like my whole evening is gone.
