Working from home or for the home?

Working from home or for the home?

It's been 31 days since I am working from home and now it seems perfectly normal! We all have embraced the changes taking place during this time to keep the business as well as personal life growing. After all these days, I have realized something that though there is not a significant impact on productivity or focus towards work but has increased my attention towards my home! Is that weird?

So, on the usual days, we all pay attention to our homes, it is the place we live right, but the attention span is short considering the time spent inside the home after office, shopping, traveling, etc. But now we are spending 24 hrs 7 days a week inside, hence off lately my "working from home" has started to be "working for home".

Nowadays, my in-between meeting breaks are more like which place I can clean within that time. For instance, yesterday during the lunch break I managed to clean one of the kitchen shelves which seemed fine to me before this lockdown. Moreover, in my leisure time, I am binge-watching about how to reduce the clutter from your house? or how to decorate your house with less budget, etc. on various streaming channels where I used to watch sitcoms or thriller series earlier. I am not saying any of this is wrong because it is not unless it impacts your productivity in a negative manner. Successful work from home totally depends on “self-sufficiency” which includes your time management skills, self-motivation, self-discipline, adaptability, etc. 

Sometimes, it is important to accept the situations the way they are and making most out of it because “when life gives me lemons, I squeeze it to make lemonade”. People say to me that there’s hardly any difference left between days but frankly, weekends still excites me, and I am sure it excites you too!
