Work-from-home is the new normal or we can say that it is the new way of doing our office work. A decade ago, work-from-home was quite famous among people who used to live in remote areas and found the commute to work as a challenging ordeal. It was also for those who had basic jobs like data entry, typewriting, graphic designing, among others. But now since 2020 when the coronavirus pandemic has started in India, work-from-home has become the most preferred option for MNCs who provide laptops and mobile phones to their employees to do their office work that is based on IT processes.

Working from home has advantages as well as disadvantages. It is indeed true that you avoid the travel to work and it saves many hours of your day, but working in a casual and relaxed attitude from the home environment makes one spend more hours completing their office work than the usual. So, if your shift is 9am to 6pm, and you have family members at home who depend on you to assist them in their needs or who have their own hours of watching television or talking to others on phone then such things can leave a huge impact on your work performance if you are someone who easily gets distracted and gets no co-operation from your family to carry out your office work from home.

If you are spending more hours in front of a laptop at a stretch then know that you are increasing your risk to develop joint problems, eye problems, and backaches. You need to know when to pause your work, take a short break, walk around your home, do some stretching exercises, read some good jokes, think something productive, and these will help you to stay physically and mentally active. Remember sitting for long hours in front of mobile, pc, the laptop is really not good for your health and the more you take charge of your health now, the better you can keep at bay from the diseases that are just rising day by day.
