In the world we live in today, many are trapped in the thought that opportunities are limited and only a few are privilege to earn and be productive, so people start to lose hope and wait and be thankful for whatever comes their way. The Philippines government-mandated, most companies to stop operations if working from home cannot be arranged. Most of us blame the national government for not providing enough opportunities to survive during this worldwide crisis, not thinking that they can only do so much for everyone. Our family and ourselves are our sole responsibility, not theirs.

Industries nowadays offer work-from-home setup though not all, with companies, aim to secure their employee’s health and safety while they help grow the business and protect their assets. Some of us might be stereotyping that working from home has tons of benefits yet considered as easy-peasy. During the transition from the office work routine to work from home, I am sure we all have different questions that we are keen on.

What do we know about working from home? Isn’t it boring since I am alone? When and how do we start? Is focusing not an issue? How do we collaborate and communicate with our colleagues if we need to work on a project? How can we stay productive in the course of working from home?

I am not a pro at working from home and have the same questions as you, so to help us answer our questions, I have done some research to unveil the truth behind working from home. Berg (2021) listed the pros and cons, what to expect, and how to set yourself up for success while working from home. As beginners working from home, we first need to feel and understand the vibe when going on a business trip. With it, we can confirm whether working from home is feasible or not. Second, create a to-do list and try to follow it, challenging to keep track of time, your progress, and finishing the tasks without being distracted or swayed by temptations around you. Then, test yourself by communicating with peers alongside fulfilling your to-do list. Easy isn’t it? Just humoring you that it takes tons of effort to be able to manage all these without losing your focus and give results at the same time. Lastly, enjoy doing all your tasks alone and still feel happy if you concur with the world.

Working from home takes a lot of patience, effort, creativity, perseverance, and self-initiative to be successful. It isn’t just a privilege but a big challenge that not everyone can be successful. If you think you have the edge of being successful, join us in concurring the world of work from home.
