Working from home used to be the world’s dream. Everyone’s on board with having their own home office, no rushed mornings, and no traffic to deal with – as long as it’s their own decision. Once the pandemic broke out, and the world began to panic, being required to stay home stopped sounding appealing. But it’s not a matter of choice at this point.
It’s A Challenge In The “Office”
Remotely working from your home can be a hindrance to productivity – and it has been during the COVID-19 pandemic, as research points out in Stanford News. People struggle daily with adjusting to their new work-from-home lifestyle. They have to focus on their work, while balancing child or pet care, keep up with their wellness and mental health (which you can find some helpful tips about here), and avoid all other distractions, such as their desire to run their own business instead of working for someone else.
That sounds like a hard place to find balance in, and we’re all struggling with it right now. Although it’s been a challenge the world has had to face, this situation can be more than just a hindrance. It can be an opportunity for us as well.
Dream Big, Reach High
Most people have a goal they have yet to complete – a lot of those including starting up their own company. However, it’s hard to focus on starting something like that when you can’t even focus on your current work-from-home requirements. Make it easier on yourself, and bridge the gap. Get help from Officense with virtual office assistants, office space when you need it, and a professional business address.
Here, we can help you regain that focus you’ve been struggling to get back. Have a one-on-one consultation with one of our executive assistants or sales coordinators to discuss your business ideas. Or just use one of our private offices, for a change of scenery, while still complying with the stay-at-home and social distancing orders CDC has in place.
Time To Make Your Move
As humans, we get complacent, and it’s normal – people tend to think it makes them feel more comfortable. But there’s a difference in complacency and comfort. We have adapted to being cooped up inside all day. We are surrounded by the same (maybe annoying, maybe not) people every day, all day long. Our surroundings never change from the workplace to home environment anymore, and things are starting to blur together.
We’ve been stripped of our daily routines all around the world, and were given extreme changes to make, given the circumstances. If we’re not careful, we’ll start forming unhealthy habits and routines, soon to replace our old lifestyles all together. Now is not the time to be complacent. Instead, now is the time to build healthier lifestyle routines and career choices; don’t focus on the now for now, focus on the now for future. It’s like the world kind of hit the reset button for us. So it’s time for us to take this lesson in stride, and flourish.

“The tragedy of life is often not in our failure, but rather in our complacency; not in our doing too much, but rather in our doing too little; not in our living above our ability, but rather in our living below our capacities.”
