5 Reasons to Work From Home
Working at home has its ups and downs, but for most of us the pros outweigh the cons of working at home. While our career paths, home office setups, and childcare arrangements may vary greatly, most moms find working from home a valuable lifestyle if they can make it work.
5 Reasons for Working at Home:
1# Spend more time with your kids
- More time spent at home means more opportunities to be there when the kids need you.
2# Increase or maintain your income
- Mothers who are entering the workforce can ease back into it and work on their own time frames and increase their income working from home. Or save on workplace costs if they are leaving their jobs.
3# Give up the commute
- Eliminate the wasted time spent traveling to work. Also save money on petrol, public transport and insurance.
4# Work flexible hours
- Take control of your schedule. Start early work late and have the day to do the things you love. Lifestyle of choice.
5# Gain fulfillment in all aspects of your life.
- Make time for you. Do the activities you never had time to do. Your family can have time too of course. Being self-employed in particular gains a feeling of controlling your own destiny. Create that work life balance by trial and error. Your life on your terms working from home.
Anyone can work from home these days with the future turning digital. If this is something you feel you would like to explore then dont be scared to take a look what's out there. You won't know if it's for you unless you keep an open mind and take a look at opportunities.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
