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 used to work from home, now I study from home. It can be difficult to motivate yourself working from home... I would recommend, if you can, having a separate office to your bedroom, and getting changed as if you're going to work!
What did you do working from home and is that what you'd prefer in the future ?
I used to be a freelance translator. It was incredibly boring, I used to have to translate contracts, certificates, instruction manuals and such. I stopped because I didn't get regular work anymore, as companies have switched to using good old Google Translate to save money, lol. I'm studying art and design at college at the moment, I'd quite like to be a freelance artist or illustrator.
