The pyjama trap: 5 signs that your home is slowing down your business

Working from home has an idyllic reputation: freedom of schedules, zero travel and the comfort of your own sofa. However, if you’ve been working from home for a while, you know that reality tends to be very different. What begins as freedom often ends up becoming isolation and a clear drop in productivity. Signaling that your home is holding back your business.

How do you know if the “home office” has turned against you?
If you identify with these situations, it may be time to change your environment:

You never leave work: Your dining room is also your office. This means that, when you sit down to watch a series at night, the brain continues to work mode. The lack of physical separation prevents mental disconnection and keeps you constantly thinking about to-dos.

The washing machine is your new companion: Domestic interruptions are lethal to concentration. Between the delivery person, the housework and the refrigerator, the time of “deep work” disappears. There is no space or time really dedicated to working with focuses.

And you feel isolated: Zoom helps, but it doesn’t replace human contact. You miss the morning coffee, an impromptu conversation or contrasting an idea with someone other than your cat.

Your professional image suffers: Have you had to blur the background of a video call so that the clothes hung out or the clutter in the house could not be seen? The image also communicates professionalism.

Creative stagnation: Ideas flow better when you change your environment and interact with other professionals.
