It has been almost 2 years since we have all been working from home and making changes to how we have worked in our professional space.
When this journey started for me in March 2020 I was actually excited because I had a plan in place to manage work and my home life. Within a few weeks I started to realise that working from home which was once a luxury became a necessity and managing the simplest of tasks became tougher and more complicated. When I spoke to my friends and family their challenges with children and larger families in the same space seemed even more daunting. While I had the luxury of not having people around me at the same time I felt caught up in the chaos of having to do everything on my own
From going outside daily for walks and enjoying the time I could get for myself, I went to a completely online mode where I ordered everything and had it delivered to my door step. From meeting people and having a coffee, I moved to doing zoom calls and coffee chats virtually (if there is any time at all in the day). From knowing when to take breaks and connecting with others, I went to eating my lunch during my meetings...
Fast forwards 2 years ahead and today we are so accustomed to working from home, my dilemma surfaces again. Am I more productive at home or at office? Does my job today require me to be in a physical office if I am on Zoom everyday or do I think I can manage to be at home and get the job done. There have been on occasions several moments where I feel its better to be at home, but then again I do miss meeting people and a connection to an office where I can build stronger relationships
As my dilemma continues to keep me on edge, one thing is for sure... returning to work and being in the same space with others will be a task in itself. While I do not have any words of wisdom to share the only thing I can continue to do is adjust and realign myself to the ever changing times.
So the question is - do you still have the dilemma about WFH or are you sure you know whether you want to continue working from home or go to office
