WORKING FROM HOME
Let’s be real, no matter where you’re working
from, you’re still doing just that: working.

1. Flexible schedule

You can take breaks at any moment, feel no rush to hang up
on your family members when they call, and eat lunch at any
weird <me you want.

2. Custom environment

Set up your noise level just the way you want it —
somewhere between insanely quiet to being at the front row
of a Lady Gaga concert. And if you’re mindful of your
workspace ergonomics, you can create a stronger rhythm for
your workflows.

3. Cozy clothes. 

You get to wear those sweatpants from college with the
leLers peeling off, or the leggings your friends don’t know
you own. (And hopefully never will.)

4. It’s easier to make calls. 


You won’t have to scramble to find a conference room or
deal with a par<cularly chaLy co-worker. (Granted, kids and
pets at home can make this tough for some remote
employees.)

5. Knock off some weekend to-do’s. 


That Mt. Everest laundry pile wai<ng for you? That thing you
set a reminder to get from the store 11 weeks ago? Cross. It.
Off.

6. No office distracVons. 

Avoid co-workers deba<ng the merits of cryptocurrency,
sirens wailing outside your window, the AC kicking in as you
hide your icicle tears.

7. Zero commuVng. 

From bed to … bed? Hey I’m not judging, it’s nice.

8. Save money. 

Lunch is expensive if you work in a
city or downtown. In San Francisco,
it’s not crazy to see a $15
sandwich or $4 coffee. At home,
you can save big <me by going to
the store and preparing food.

9. Forget crowds and

traffic. 

No stuffing yourself into a rickety
transporta<on tube, having people
scuff your new shoes, or walking
behind agonizingly slow people
who apparently don’t know what a
straight line is. (Am I biLer? No …
not biLer … )

10. More Vme with loved ones. 


Take care of a sick significant other at home, be ready for
your kids earlier in the day, get some extra snuggles in with
your doggo, or simply get some quiet <me to yourself!

TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE

Some important things to consider are what environment you stay

focused in the longest, how long it takes you to get back on track,
and how you best communicate. If you’re self-mo<vated, adhere to

a rou<ne well, and enjoy minimal distrac<ons, then working from

home is the right choice for you.

If you thrive on social interac<ons, feel inspired by seeing others

working, and stay on track best if others see you, then working
from the office is the way to go.

Occasionally there are projects that require more quiet <me or

more collabora<on and resource planning. It’s important to be able
to mix it up, depending on where you think you’ll be most
produc<ve!
