Working from home becomes popular due to the coronavirus outbreak. For me, It’s not a new thing honestly. I have been working from home for 11 years. My journey was started in 2009. I never imagine if a decade later the condition becomes like this.
Although working from home seems easy, but in reality it’s complicated. We have to face and deal with these challenges:

Are we perfectionist person? If the answer is yes, we have to be careful because we can get stressed easily. In fact, it doesn’t matter if our plan can’t be real. We are not a loser just because we can do all things at the same time.
3. About feeling alone

If there are so many challenges of working from home, then why people including me still like working from home? I will explain on the next post. š
