If you are ill when working in a regular employed position you phone in and say you wonīŋŊt be at work that day. You might go back to more work when you are better, or someone else may take up the slack for you while you are away. Either way, you donīŋŊt have to worry about working. But what about when you are self employed and working at home?
You certainly wonīŋŊt have anyone to take up the slack for you, so you need to plan ahead at all times to make sure you donīŋŊt get behind on your workload. If you do and you fall ill, it can be even harder to catch up again.
But there is a distinct benefit to working from home when youīŋŊre not feeling your best. If you have something fairly mild such as a cold for example, you can stay wrapped up in the warm and be happy that you donīŋŊt have to go out and struggle through the rush hour. In fact you might even find you get better faster because you can be easier on yourself even if you are still working.
In addition to this you can be flexible with your working hours. If you have ever had to get up at 6am to go to work at a regular job with a horrible cold, you will know how difficult it is. But when you work at home you can choose to lie in to get more much needed and healing sleep, and work a bit later that day instead. Can you imagine phoning a regular boss and asking them if you could do that in a normal job position?
It is this degree of flexibility that really does pay when you work from home and you feel unwell. You may still have to ensure you get the work done on time, but you can arrange your hours in order to work when you feel reasonably okay, and rest when you feel really poorly. If you canīŋŊt sleep at 3am you can get up and do a couple of hours of work until you feel tired enough to get back to sleep again.
You should always build in a contingency plan for situations like this. Some people who work from home and have deadlines to meet set their own delivery times instead in case anything like this happens. For example, letīŋŊs suppose you have a client job that requires completing by 5pm Friday evening. Instead of noting that as your deadline, aim for 5pm Wednesday evening instead. If you fall ill you know you have a couple of days grace to work with. And if you donīŋŊt you can deliver the project two days early and impress your client with your efforts. This method of working can help to prepare in advance for those occasions when you simply cannot work because of an illness such as the flu. You will be glad of that cushion if you ever need it.
