0:27

we're going to talk about working from

0:29

home this is a good topic because many

0:32

people work remotely nowadays

0:35

working remotely means you don't work in

0:38

an office you stay home and you use your

0:42

computer or other technology to work i

0:46

work from home and i think there are

0:48

positives and negatives to this

0:51

let's talk about them

0:53

first let's start with the positives if

0:56

you work from home you don't need to

0:59

commute to work you don't have to drive

1:02

to work in the morning or drive back

1:04

home in the evening this is great

1:07

because you don't have to worry about

1:10

traffic in the morning and in the

1:12

evening there are many cars on the road

1:15

because many people are commuting to and

1:19

from work

1:20

some people get stuck in this traffic

1:23

every day this is one of my favorite

1:26

things about working from home it saves

1:29

you a lot of time another thing is that

1:32

you can feel more relaxed when you work

1:35

from home

1:36

you can wear casual clothes you can take

1:39

breaks when you're tired and you can

1:42

work in any room i feel pretty

1:45

comfortable working from home it's not

1:48

too formal and i feel free

1:51

if you work in an office there are more

1:53

rules and it's less comfortable one

1:57

other positive about working from home

2:00

is being able to spend more time with

2:02

your family for example if you have a

2:05

break you can go in the other room and

2:08

spend time with your family when you

2:11

work at an office you don't have your

2:14

family with you so you can't do this i

2:17

love eating breakfast or lunch with my

2:20

family when i have breaks this is

2:23

probably the best part about working

2:26

from home i can spend a lot of time with

2:29

my family on weekdays and weekends okay

2:33

now let's talk about the negatives of

2:35

working from home one bad thing is that

2:38

it's easy to get distracted at home for

2:42

example if you have young children at

2:45

home with you it can be hard to focus on

2:48

your work children make noise and

2:51

interrupt you while you're working this

2:54

is normal so you have to learn to manage

2:57

these situations and stay focused on

3:00

your work another negative thing about

3:03

working from home is that sometimes you

3:06

don't know when to stop working when you

3:09

work at an office you stop working when

3:12

you leave the office you know exactly

3:15

when your work day is done however when

3:19

you work from home it can be hard to

3:21

know when to stop each day you don't

3:24

have your boss there to tell you when to

3:27

stop

3:28

one more negative thing about working

3:31

from home is not having contact with

3:34

other people in general it's important

3:36

to talk and interact with other people

3:40

if you work from home you only talk to

3:43

your co-workers on the computer or on

3:46

the phone this is okay but i think it's

3:49

also good to interact with people in

3:52

person it feels good to be around people

3:56

and to work with people so in general i

3:59

like working from home but it's not

4:02

perfect okay that's all for today leave
