Hello,
Does anyone here really enjoy working from home and if so what do you do ?
It really hit home to me, whilst out having an early morning walk today by the river, that I would be much happier working from home. I have worked a physical job most of my life and have known a change was long overdue, for years actually. I've realised this is causing me more stress than what it's worth and I'm in the process of minimising as much stress as I can, even if it may involve a loss of income.
I've looked around at some of the most common jobs people are doing from home but don't really interest me, like corporate companies, data-entry, sales and so on. They're just not my cup of tea. I'd much more prefer to be helpful or creative or contribute something positive in some way. I'm just wondering how to go about finding work I could do from home that could be interesting or maybe even meaningful ?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
I was teaching online till education opened up again. It was good being in charge of my own environment. It was also good feeling I had more autonomy over my working day. I had enough people interaction ftom the students and didn't really miss seeing colleagues. However, I missed being on my feet. I don't particularly like sitting at a desk all day. Swings and roundabouts as they say.
Yes I imagine teaching in the normal environment can be stressful enough. I hear what you're saying not being able to move around. I've seen many in their pajamas throughout the lockdown on my travels of work. I guess structure can be hard though for many during these times. Balance seems to be the key albeit hard to strike sometimes.
