i guess because the atmosphere at home is different unlike when i go out to the cafe that i can do nothing else than just sit in front of the computer and do nothing else than be online. but at home, i am tempted to lie down. and of course at home i have no one to talk to. all i have are the things that are waiting to be cleaned, arranged and take care of. although i can have the time to do a lot of things online but because of the lack of people and lack of people to talk to at home makes every thing such a burden most of the time.

I can tell from my experience that when I had to live alone on my own I found a lot of things always to do. I would get bored of doing the same things everyday. However, I was seldom distracted from doing things that needed to be done, mean I was quite productive at home. Anyway I am blessed to have got people to live with in my home most of my life. I just love talking to my near and dear ones, share things and enjoy fun.

It is an undoubted problem if you want to continue to do something at home as other petty issues maybe interrupt your thinks to cause you can't pay attention to do.After all,home is a place for rest.If you truely like to work at home,I suggest you should have a specialty room for work,not bedroom or drawing room.

yeah i think i should have my own room. but i am not that rich. i can't have my own room. i just share room. but it is not having my own room. it is just i don't have any one at home that share the same interest with me.

You are right. I guess that there are more things in our house that can interrupt us to be more productive. Before, I usually bring home some documents to work with but I have noticed that I have been doing that for a while but there are many times that I just bring them back at the office unfinished. I also felt that my arms get longer by carrying those documents almost everyday lol

Personally, I could work at home. I wake up very early in the morning and start my job online. Unlike in my boarding house where I can not find my own place to work. I hope the training would end soon so that I could already return to my normal life.

hope you can get some rest after that continuous work. i don't like to have so many works. what i want is just to be more productive at home and not just sleep most of the time.

I can relate to that. I have lots of things to do, that sometimes, I bring my work at home, but I still slack, because I see things that need to be attended to, like laundry, fold the dry clothes, clean the kitchen, bathroom and garden. Bottomline, I end up putting my work for the next day and on and on until my work is up to here!!! (slashing motion at my neck hehe) I really need to devise a system. I have plenty of planners, but I do hate to write. I always do a ninja and just do things without planning. Maybe, that's what we should all do. Make a plan and stick to it. And I am starting now. I will make my schedule. That is, after myLot (HA!)

yeah i think of making my home like work friend atmosphere. so i would be more energetic to work than to sleep. i don't know how it is possible, i just hope i can find a way to do so.

I agree with you. I always find myself lying down or watching tv, while doing my job. So most of the time, an actual work that just needs around 1-2 hours takes 4 hours to be completed. It sucks sometimes, but I have no choice because I have my baby to take care of.

I agree that it's much harder to be productive at home. Myself, I work all day at a stressful job so when I come home, I'm ready to crash and I don't want to deal with any stress I just want to relax my mind. Sometimes I have decent days where I feel good and feel like going on the computer to be productive, usually the end of the week is better for me than the beginning in anticipation of the weekend.

That's so true. I work at home, and sometimes when I'm doing research, I find my attention wandering from whatever it is I'm doing. Instead of being able to finish a job in three hours, it takes me six hours to complete all because I suddenly find myself surfing, or watching Youtube. Then I have piles of laundry and a sink full of dishes. Since I take too much time getting distracted, I don't have enough time to clean up the house. Now I understand why it's better to work in an office, and why most internet sites are blocked in the office! LOL

Well, I also think about like you. When I'm at home, I take everything with a comfortable, perhaps with too much comfort! It is perhaps a mistake, if I had a job, I would have to respect certain times, in fact, I would be much more productive! At home I spend most of my time attached to internet online. I often take a long time to rest. You think only of the fact that I'm writing this comment with the phone lying on my bed!

for sure that is entirely true and we cant utilise our time well to work online ,most of the time we get distracted and keep moving towards some household chores and lack of motivation and we go towards being lazy

There comes the importance or significance of a good friend in your life. A good friend can help you to stay from all the bored as well as from other problems in you’re the life. Most of the times he can be the complete solutions of everything related to your life . Try to get some good friends this can help you to have a good time.

I also find it very difficult to be productive at home. There are too many distractions and it is too easy to say "I will do it later" as you know you can always come back to your task at home. At work, you only have so many hours to get so many things done and it is easier to push to get them done and out of the way. At least that is what happens for me.
