Working need not be a pain in the neck when you are doing it from home. What can be better than earning money while sitting in the comfort of your home? People have this misconception that working from home is for housewives, retired people or students, but that is far from the truth. It has various advantages that can’t be enjoyed in an office atmosphere, here are some of them.

1. Get more time on hands

The biggest advantage is obviously the fact that you get more time on your hands to do other stuff. You can hone your skills and hobbies, meet friends, spend time with family, read books, gain knowledge and in short, end with more leisure time than a 9-5 work life will allow you to.

2. Travel fatigue reduced

You don’t end up so tired that you sleep in on weekends and stop exercising when you are working from home. The commute to and fro usually leaves you exhausted. You’ll feel frustrated with this exhaustion as you are not able to exercise, spend time with loved ones and enjoy ‘me’ time since limited time forces them to rest in bed.

3. Money is saved

Since you are not traveling or eating out in lunch breaks, you save an ample amount of money whilst working from home.

4. Better for your health

People who work 9-5 jobs generally have ill health. Sitting in one position for a long time, eating out frequently, commuting everyday, etc., can take a toll on your health in the long run. You are not left with any time to join a gym, do yoga, go for a walk or a light jog. You tend to put on, and suffer from stress related diseases.
