Getting connected to Internet and spending more time online get us connected well over the net. But, in reality, we are going far away from real world. When was the last time you see blue sky? When was the last time you see stars? When was the last time you see full moon? Sometimes, I can’t remember when the last time. As a full time work at home mum, I spend most of my time in the house. Taking care of baby, house cleaning, blogging, twittering, SEO works and more keep me stuck in the house.
Sometimes, I’m proud that all my transaction, bills, reload coupon, payments, etc can be done from online banking. It makes me feel like we are giving away the chance to meet some real people. Enjoy the environment and witness some unusual events happening around. Spending too much time online just make me look like a loser compared to my friends who goes to work 8am – 5pm. Of course, the pressure is different when you are working under some company.
Sometimes, I just wanted to turn off my computer. Go away far from home and explore new places. Spend the whole day with my family members forgetting everything about work. Think of this way; as we work from home, we have the flexibility to choose anytime to go out. So, don’t get glued on your computer chair. Go out and get some fresh air. Who knows, it might give you an inspiration to work better.
The funny thing is we don’t have electricity on the island we go to – but we have Internet access
That’s awesome! It shows that Internet becoming more necessary tool compared to electricity these days.
I agree with you..i like to use the word ‘connected to the world’ when i started surfing internet..but the reality is we are leaving the reality world..haha
and i find sometimes it is really hard for me to leave my laptop. lol
You are not alone. I think those who spends more than 8 hours a day online will feel the same too.
That is why it is so important to use balance in everything we think and do!
I wish to have good balance too, but it is so hard to follow these rules when we have too many commitments.
I’m addict to virtual world .. so 1 day no go online is sick !! .. xD
Count me in! We are on the same boat!
yeah, my mum got really worried till i explained that i wasn’t just surfing porn* when i’m at the PC at all hours
* mostly untrue
It is common as porn is easy sell in business. It is good to have a mum who are so concern like yours.
sometimes people need rest and relaxing.
Yes, we all need. Just, we can’t take any if we are so glued at computer chair.
Yes sometimes I feel the same too, I stuck to my computer doing some jobs from internet at home. But the hardest thing for me is, people think that I’m unemployment lol, because working at home with internet is not common yet in my country. Well … what can I say, as long as I still receive the check and I don’t bother anyone else, I don’t care whit what they say
It is still the same in my place too. They don’t know what I’m working on too. I always escape this question by answering, “Oh, I’m doing some home based business”.
Hello Atniz,
I agree with you…doing a home job and always sitting in front of the computer makes us a rusted person…going out and getting the sun shine on the body and the wind is very essential.Also people who always stays in home becomes un-smart than those goes in the streets.but what to do. u have to do your home jobs to earn money….
thanks
Sometimes, we got no choice. I realize that too. We may good in our field, like online marketing, etc – but there are people out there who really works hard to make money. It is inspiring too.
You mean to tell me that there is something outside these four walls!
I know how you feel though 
Yeah, you are right. I enjoyed at PC Fair today. Crowded with masked face (scared of H1N1). At least we are reducing the chance to get this virus by staying in the house. At least, we can use this reason to console ourself. Lolz..
