Why You Should Ditch Your Home Office

With every new business comes the dilemma - should I stay or should I go? Although there may be a few pros to working from home, you will most likely find working from a physical space ideal. Keep reading to find out how.

All Work and No Play

One major reason why some opt to own a physical office is the blurred line between work and play that comes with a home office. It can be harder to “close up shop” at the end of the day, unintentionally forcing you to work longer hours and to feel guilt when not working. Not to mention distractions such as pets and children that can make it difficult to stay on track.

The Loneliest Number

We don’t realize how heavily we rely on our peers until we’re without them. Co-workers can be incredibly beneficial to us, especially in coming up with new ideas for our businesses. Statistics also point to social interaction as favorable for mental and physical wellness.

Not Enough Space

Believe it or not, home offices tend to take up quite a bit of space. Most individuals set aside a designated working spot that can use up living space. Having an office away from home can save you room.

Government Regulations

Most businesses have to meet the criteria the government has put in place. Office buildings must be compliant, in turn making the ability to work hassle-free, and depleting the stress of worrying about your home office meeting regulations.

Under Pressure

With a home office comes distractions. And with distractions comes a major blow to your productivity. Without having to meet deadlines, i.e. finishing up before the work day ends, there is no sense of urgency. A little bit of stress can positively affect us, providing motivation to get things done quickly and efficiently. Some truly do thrive under pressure.

In conclusion, working from home may offer more cons than pros, adding unnecessary stress, and overall negatively impacting your workflow. If you are looking to rent an office space, we hope you consider 535 Broad Hollow Road. Check out our amenities and availabilities here.
