I started working at home back in the ’80’s when it wasn’t so cool or even a trend.
As the time progress and working at home become more and more the “norm”. Big business started to incorporate this options to their employees. It was cost effective, more productivity, and flexible. It was a total win-win for both the businesses and the employees.
The idea was sold with the concept of “work at home”, work in your pajamas, telecommute, save time and money, work from anywhere, be your own boss!
However, it’s not all that flexible, easy and you really shouldn’t work in your pajamas. As the virtual world keeps involving and you have more and more virtual conferences, webinars, meetings and so on.
We the virtual employee or freelance individuals have established a more professional look. Not only does it give us more credibility, but it does set us apart from the typical workforce. We have incorporated a look, “The Causal Business Friday Look” as our regular look.
Why? You may ask……Simple, practical, professional, productive, credible, stylish, and above all the beginning of the minimalist trend.
If you are in the new workforce and have the power to work at home. Follow these simple rules.
- No Pajamas
- Exercise
- Eat healthy
- Daily Grooming
- Dedicated Work Space
- Take Time Off
Remember, all work and no play can hurt your morale and make you depress and stressful.
The Poor American 
Pleased to make your acquaintance. I find it intriguing that you broke into work from home before it was a “thing”
Back in the days. Proffesionals, Doctors, Lawyers, and Accountant use to have offices in their home. They use to refer it as “private practice.” Later it became the norm to move your office away from your home. History repeats it self. Now its a new trend to work back in to the home. New term “Telecommute”. It still the same concepts, more easy with the internet and computers….. Glad you found my article intriging. Thank you for visiting “The Poor American.Com”
Your reply made me think of “Growing Pains” and “The Cosby Show”. That’s probably my introduction to work and home.
