May 26, 2020 Janet  36 Comments


 

Well, I did my due diligence and spoke to a lot of people and did an online survey also. The problems came from all of the research. There were about 50 problems. However some of them were repetitious of others. So, i combined a few of the problems. That is how I came up with a bit over thirty.

 


So here we are in 2020, Who would have Ever thought that this year would be this way! I mean think back to five years ago or last year even, did you say, “in 2020, I am going to be on a basic lock down or quarantine from a pandemic?” Did anyone think that we would be coming to a screeching halt? Besides the preppers that is or maybe some secret society or government official.

Anyway, I digress, here we are with thousands of Americans working from home. When they used to go to an office. There are benefits of working from home and there are problems of working from home. Today, I am going to begin a multi-part blog that discusses the problems of working from home.

 


So, I am going to begin with the problems. Then you will see part of the answers on this Blog. Then I will finish it in either another one or possibly two more blogs.

After this is all done, I am going to show you some of the perks of working from home. There are perks, once you have all the kinks worked out.
