About this Talent:

Working from home sounds easy — until you actually try it.


You think you wll wake up, grab your coffee, and start working in your pajamas. But hours pass, and all you have done is scroll through Instagram, answer random WhatsApp messages, and maybe open your laptop once.

Here’s the truth: working from home is not hard because of the job, it’s hard because of the distractions.


This article breaks down the most common reasons people fail when working remotely and what you can do to stay productive without burning out.


1. No Real Routine

When you don’t have a fixed time to start or end your workday, everything becomes flexible and eventually, nothing gets done.

The fix:

Set clear work hours.They don’t have to be 9 to 5. Even 10 AM to 2 PM works, as long as they are consistent. Put them in your phone calendar.Treat them like a shift, not a suggestion.


2. Mixing Work and Home Spaces

Working from your bed or sofa might feel relaxing at first. But it makes your brain associate rest areas with work, and that creates mental fatigue.

The fix:

Find a dedicated work spot. It could be a table in the corner of your room. Just do not work where you sleep. Keep your “work zone” and “chill zone” separate.


3. No Plan for the Day

People waste time not because they’re lazy, but because they don’t know what to do next.

The fix:

Start each day with 3 clear tasks. Write them down on a sticky note or a Google Doc. Focus only on those. If you finish early, great. If not, at least you made progress.


4. Getting Distracted Online

It starts with one video on YouTube, then another. Next thing you know, two hours are gone.

The fix:

Use tools like StayFocusd (Chrome extension) or block social apps during work hours. If you really can’t resist, keep your phone in another room.


5. Trying to Work Non-Stop

Burnout happens fast when there are no breaks. People feel guilty for resting, so they pretend to work for hours while actually doing very little.

The fix:

Use the Pomodoro technique. Work for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break. Repeat 4 times, then take a longer break. It helps your brain stay sharp and focused.


6. No Clear Goal

Without a long-term goal (like saving money, freelancing full-time, or learning a skill), you’ll lose motivation fast.

The fix:

Write down your reason for working remotely. Put it somewhere visible. When you’re tired or distracted, read it again. It works.



Working from home is not a fantasy, but it is not automatic success either. You have to treat it like a real job. That means structure, boundaries, and discipline.


Start small. Make a plan. Stick to your hours. Avoid distractions. And permit yourself to rest.

In the end, it’s not about being perfect it’s about being consistent.

The Phases of life: learning and unlearning life with of people around us.

As we grow we are always in some phase of life be it a childhood or adulthood. We are always dealing with new phase of life and when we think we have understood the assignment then the next phase hits like a rock.

Every perosn has it own version of life and the way they look at it. Some find it fun and cheerful with minimum heartaches while others are just hitting the wrong notes of life.

However everyone one has their own imperfect yet beautiful journey of life and the way of living it. Each journey makes us see life differently. People around us the people we have known for years yet we tend to unnotice their struggles and tricks with life. As a an individual we all are so busy in our world that we are just breathing next to each other instead of living with each other. Life is what we makes it if we are miserable then life will feel miserable to us and if we are peaceful then life would feel peaceful. Choosing a life was not in our hands but yeah living it and not just spending is in our hands. So do it with a smile.

I Am Writer, I Write Unique Articles, Script, Poems, Lyrics, Blog.

I am April Anne of The Philippines. I love jotting my ideas on a piece of paper. I had a lot of time and I know there is more. I am currently making a book titled, Do you believe?.

I vividly remember the day I first thought about writing a book. I had a feeling that whatever that comes up in my mind should have to be told and written. I have tried to start several times. It was sunny afternoon. I am blessed to have a personality that loves to read and write.

As I grew, those things and situations I have encountered, including the people I have met, are the best things to be told and experienced. Who would have thought about connecting to different lives within a book?

I have been always into connecting people; into connecting lives. A goal setter through sharing life beyond what is in present. Subconsciously, there is something really happening when we connect to people even if we do not do anything. It is when we interact to one another.

I am very grateful for the small and big things that is happening in my life. I am very outspoken in my mind and gentle in actions.

With my adoration at music and books, I tend to write poems and unique articles.

Hi, I'm Comfort, I'm a registered Midwife who loves writing and love making research for the improvement of both self, companies and society

Hi, I'm Comfort, I'm a registered Midwife who loves writing and love making research and over the years I've carried out out standing research both in the health care and in other sectors...
My current research speaks carefully on CULTURAL COMPETENCE?

WHAT IS CULTURAL COMPETENCE?

Cultural and linguistic competence is a set of congruent behaviors, attitudes, and policies that come together in a system, agency, or among professionals that enables effective work in cross-cultural situations. 'Culture' refers to integrated patterns of human behavior that include the language, thoughts, communications, actions, customs, beliefs, values, and institutions of racial, ethnic, religious, or social groups. Cultural competence describes a set of aligned and transparent skills, attitudes and principles that acknowledge, respect and work together as a system towards optimal interactions between individuals and the various cultural and ethnic groups within a community. A cultural encounter is a process where the nurse directly engages in face-to-face cultural interactions and other types of encounters with clients from culturally diverse backgrounds in order to modify existing beliefs about a cultural group and to prevent possible stereotyping.

short-stories-whatifs-for-movies-for-shows-or-animes-fictional-or-romance-stories

Short stories, whatifs for movies for shows or animes, fictional or romance stories.

I’m not great with words or whatever, but if you’ve got a story idea, I can try to write it. I mean, I’m not some fancy writer, but I’ll do my best.


You want like... an isekai thing where some normal dude gets dumped in a fantasy world? Yeah, I can do that. Or maybe sci-fi stuff—like a guy waking up on a spaceship with no memory, or finding out his whole life was a simulation. That kind of thing?


I don’t know. Just throw an idea at me. It can be:

  • A guy who dies and gets reincarnated as a goblin (but like, a weirdly smart one)
  • A VR game that turns out to be real, and now he’s stuck there
  • like romance stuff
  • things like what ifs for anime.


I’m not saying it’ll be perfect, but I’ll try to make it make sense. And I won’t go overboard with weird stuff—just normal, fun, "what if?" kind of stories.


So yeah. If you’ve got an idea even if it’s dumb just tell me. I’ll see what I can do. Just trust me i am will make your imagination take the form of a story. i will make it so incredible that you will start to imagine the characters and their forms in real life.
