10 Signs That Working From Home Is Not Working For You

Apologies for the lack of updates recently, not had loads to talk about. Wrote this the other day, if you can relate to any of the points mentioned then perhaps its time to give up working from home! :(

Being able to work from home is probably not suitable for all people, many will simply get bored or lack motivation. Here are 10 signs that being self employed and working from home is not for you… 

  1. You are seriously contemplating the purchase of a “You don’t have to be mad to work here… but it does help!” poster, for use on your bedroom/workroom wall.
  2. You have 3 clocks hanging on your wall which display the times in 3 different time zones, yet you are not quite sure why.
  3. You once sent yourself an e-mail stating that you were unhappy with your current work-appearance, requesting that you trim those bushy sideburns or risk losing your job…
  4. You’re insistent on wearing a shirt and tie whilst “at work” and you once considered staying all bed in day as you couldn’t find your lucky tie.
  5. You gave yourself an official warning after “accidentally” accessing a “Swedish schoolgirls” website.
  6. You’ve banned workplace relationships – so you are no longer able to spy on the sexy woman that lives across the road.
  7. You’re worried about the lack of a multi-cultural environment at work, so to combat this you aim to eat at least one takeaway meal every week.
  8. You insist on being referred to as “Sir” when housemates/family members try talking to you at home.
  9. You actually contemplated staging a Christmas party at your workplace, even getting so far as creating a budget for the event.
  10. You once tried phoning in sick, and became confused when your girlfriend/housemate answered the phone.
