The warm and sunny summertime is a glorious time of year for most Canadians. To many, the season is synonymous with vacation time. For busy business owners, however, it’s hard to take days off no matter how nice the weather is. That’s where the beauty of remote work can work wonders. Are you able to take your business on the road with you? Let’s explore the perks of remote work during the summertime.
You get to enjoy a breath of fresh air.
We mean that literally. Who says you have to be cooped up indoors to do your work? If possible, take your laptop outside and relax on a patio, in the park or on the beach. By taking in the fresh air and natural light, you will boost your mood and increase your productivity. After all, we all work better when we’re in good spirits and good health, right? Take breaks and enjoy the sunshine. Remote work gives you the opportunity to feel more refreshed and energized than if you were in the office.
Naturally, remote work offers you flexibility. By conducting your job outside of the traditional office space, you get to enjoy better work-life balance. For example, you can decide to begin your workday earlier or finish it later. Doing so enables you to accommodate such activities as morning hikes, afternoon swims or evening barbecues. With such flexibility, you will make the most of the sunny summertime without compromising your professional responsibilities.
You eliminate commuting stress.
Let’s have a show of hands for those who like to sit in rush hour traffic. Our bet is that your hands are down by your side. Avoiding long and stressful commutes is a huge perk of remote work. It eliminates this often-agitating daily grind, giving you more time to relax and focus on your important tasks at hand. Of course, avoiding commutes to work doesn’t just save you time. It saves you money as well.
Who doesn’t like to save money? By working remotely, you save on the costs of gas, public transit and rideshares. As well, you save money on eating out by preparing your meals at home.
Add to that the fact that you don’t have to pay for office rental space or electricity at your traditional place of business. Remote work definitely provides you with a financial win.
You boost your productivity.
Remote workers have communicated that they are more productive thanks to the lack of distractions at home. While it’s always nice to chat with co-workers, the activity can decrease productivity. By working in a personal workspace away from the office, you get to focus on your tasks. The situation promotes getting more work done in less time. This includes making and taking phone calls.
