⚠️ The Disadvantages
Of course, remote work isn’t perfect. The flexibility can come with trade-offs.
- Blurred Work-Life Boundaries
When your living room becomes your office, it’s easy to overwork or struggle to “switch off.” - Isolation
Without in-person interaction, some employees experience loneliness or disconnection from their teams. - Distractions at Home
Kids, pets, and household chores can easily interrupt deep work sessions — especially if space is limited.

Working from home can be both freeing and frustrating — success often depends on your self-discipline and environment.

Even if remote work isn’t perfect, small habits can make a huge difference:
- Set clear start and end times each day
