Over a year ago, my boss allowed me to begin working from home three days a week. The benefit of working from home has saved me hours sitting in traffic, wear and tear on my car and helped me to manage my work and life responsibilities.  I used to rush around in the morning trying to get the family ready for the day as well as get to work on time and I never seemed to be able to accomplish either very well. The kids would get to school without their homework or lunch and I’d get to work realizing I didn’t walk the dog or take out food to defrost for dinner. 

Now that I work from home, I take conference calls using comet series headsets while folding laundry or picking up the kids toys. If anyone is home, I use listen only earpieces to ensure outside noise doesn’t interrupt my work calls. Armed with a computer, a wireless connection, phones and wireless phone headsets, I can complete my work assignments, do research and communicate with my work office and never change out of my pajamas. Working from home has helped me be a more efficient employee and a better family manager.
