Work from home expectations vs. Reality and solutions.

Work from home expectations vs. Reality and solutions. 

Hello friends, once again I, Kanchan Nilesh Narvekar, welcome all of you to this blog. We talked about friendship through our previous blog. You will definitely be eager to know what topic we are going to discuss today, 

Before discussing today's topic, I would like to draw your kind attention to what is going on around you right now so that you too can connect yourself with this topic.

Lockdown is on everywhere now and in this pandemic of covid 19, we are all going through a difficult situation of handling work pressure.

Don't understand what happened?

Hmm work from home!!

On the one hand, it is difficult to handle a job in the current situation, where some people are worried because their own job has gone. Even in such a difficult time, some are working hard to maintain their job, covering as many distances as they can, using the resources available to them, and being generous with their lives.

At such times, some people like you have got the opportunity to work from home!!

Before this, get up early in the morning, and travel for hours, go to the office by bus and train. When you come back home after the office with the lots of traveling, more stress, exhaustion. But everyone in the house is complaining that you are not spending time at home, you may have sometimes thought that if I could do office work at home, I would be more efficient and We could have done more work. And we could have given time at home also.

So what if God fulfills your wish as a tathastu!!!

But what to say, along with the blessings, some problems also have to be faced. The same thing has happened to you.

Work from home expectations vs. reality and solutions.

This is our topic today, we will not only present doubts but also try to find a way out of them. Let's discuss our topic right away.

• Expectations: Morning Time.

The traveling time required to go to the office can be used for oneself. The work which used to be done by getting up and running, will be completed by 9.30am in a comfortable manner.

• Reality: Actually Morning time.

The first few days may have started by getting up at 4 am as usual and then you realize how much more time you get, then you may have decided that even after getting up at 7am, everything can be done now, but now you don't able manage to wake up at 7 am so again you have to make a rush to even catch the office timing. 

• Solution:

Sleeping with an alarm means you can get up before office hours and start work with a fresh mind without rushing.

• Expectations: Priorities to work

After starting work, we will not move from our place till lunch time as per office hours.

• Reality: Priorities changes to family.

Since housekeepers can't come in the lockdown, surely you also can't able to complete your household work before your office timing also someone from your family has expectations about some other work such as "I want to do this for a while if you can do it today", "can you buy some groceries" and if you are a married woman, then of course someone will order something at home!! Demands for new breakfast, lunch. "now that you're home, make this menu today". If you are a mom of a little child, then who will tell them what is the meaning of work from home?

• Solution:

Explain to everyone at home that even if you are in front of them consider you are in the office. I can't get up like that again.

• Expectations: perfect Office Video call.

You will be ready for the official conference video call and you are all set with your paperwork and preparation. 

• Reality: Failed office video call.

Even after so much preparation, when the call starts, all of a sudden your son / daughter stands in front of you to give a guest appearance, or your mother/ mother in law / wife remembers to tell you something. And after seeing all this you will be full of embarrassment.

• Solution:

Before the conference call starts, give everyone prior idea for it at home so that you don't get embarrassed.

If you manage correctly and show loyalty in your work, then work from home will be definitely blessing for you and it will the best working future for all of us. We will balance our professional and family time both.

So friends, once again time to say bye bye. That's all for now. Do tell me exactly how you felt about this article and let me know if you have any ideas.
