Why working at home can be *MORE productive* than going to the office

"Why working at home can be *MORE productive" than going to the office"

I did a test run the past two weeks to make myself more productive. I went to the office for one week straight and worked from home the other week. I realized there is a BIG difference as far as production is concerned. Some may find that working at the office is better than working from home.

Working in the office does have its benefits. If you have a question, you can just drop by a colleague's office and ask a question or two. If you need to speak with escrow, they are a few steps away. You can learn a few new things by talking with other agents in the office. For example, if you have a particular situation you're having problems with you can run it by someone for an opinion. With its benefits there also comes a trail of disadvantages.

One of the main things in the distractions you get while in the office. People will stop by and chat. There is also office gossips. Gossips...really? Oh yes there is. I just don't feel that there is much progress being made by working in the office.

On the other hand, working from home provides you with the peace and environment to be more productive. There is no distractions. Yes, the bed and sofa is across the room for relaxation but if you have self discipline that is not an issue at all. I find that I accomplished more things and feel that I can tackle more jobs in a shorter time frame than going into the office. A big plus is that there is no need to beat the traffic and the time saved can be used to get other things done.

A drawback of working from home can be that you do not have the interactions with colleagues to address certain issues you may have. Well, my friend, that can be solved just by a phone call to your broker. Another great alternative is to browse through Activerain!
