Flexible Schedules Online

 

Control Over Your Schedule

Being in charge of your day is one of the biggest pros of working from home.

You can set and customize your work hours to meet the needs of your personal and family life. 

Do your best work late at night, you can schedule your work time then. But, with this new found freedom, come distracting temptations and the risk of procrastinating on work-related tasks. You'll want to make sure you have the right entrepreneurial character traits to handle this new responsibility.

More Time for Parenting and Personal Pursuits

If you feel like your job is taking up too much time, having a home business could be the solution. Having a flexible schedule means you can make time for your kids and family, or pursue other interests. If you want to homeschool while running your business, you can. However, achieving work/life balance does take some planning and time management. In some cases, you may still need to arrange for childcare.

No More Commuting or High Gas Bills

Americans spend an average of $386 per month on gas.

Cutting down on a daily commute would put some of that money back in your pocket. Along with money, you'll save time normally wasted commuting.

Tax Benefits

A big perk of working for yourself is the tax advantages not given to employees. You can write off equipment, supplies and even a portion of your home or car if it is appropriate. Some of these expenses you currently have but don't get a deduction for, such as the Internet.

Further, whereas in a job, you pay taxes on your total earning, in a home business, you can deduct your expenses first, and pay taxes on net income. With that said, it's important to learn about home business deductions to ensure you're following proper tax laws. Ideally, you should consult a tax expert.

Control Over Your Work Attire

No more blazers and dress pants. No more ties or pantyhose. You can wear whatever you want in your home office. If you're most comfortable and inspired in your fluffy bathrobe, you can wear it every day if you want.

One note of caution though, work attire has been shown to correlate with productivity levels. So, just because you can wear your jammies, doesn’t always mean you should. You may find a business casual environment in your home office helps you get more done during the day.

This happiness and satisfaction will permeate all areas of your life. You will be more pleasant to be around, you will exhibit greater patience, and those who are happier, live longer.
