Assalamualaikum.
Can you believe it's 2021 already? Many people hope this year to be better than 2020. which, lets admit, has been a wreck. The main cause is of course the pandemic. It was started in March in Indonesia and continued through out the year. It's still happening now, but it seems like most of people forget about it or they just don't care. They said, "I'm tired of this pandemic. I want to be free. I'm bored staying at home." Do they realize that the virus doesn't care? The virus is not bored. It's still here. But the good news is the vaccine is on the way. I heard the government has started to give vaccine to some categories.
During the pandemic last year, one thing I'm feeling grateful the most were I can work from home. I'm still working from home now. Going to the office only once or twice in a week. This WFH trend should make people realize that as long as the job done, it can be done from anywhere. You don't need to be physically present in the office or in the meeting. And I love it! Ha ha ha. I admit the first few weeks were hard, I missed the solitary of my desk in the office. But, after finding the routine, it was relatively smooth sailing. It's even hard for me now imagining going to the office every day. I mean, what's the point? If I can get the job done from home, why should I waste money and time for the trip?
Some agencies have done surveys about WFH effectivity and I really hope that this can change working culture. For some works, time spent doing the job is not relevant to the result. Working more hours does not always mean better result. Some times, working more hours means they don't have good system and good time management.
So yeah, I hope I can keep doing my job remotely even after this pandemic ends. Wish you have a good day and being in good health.
