Flexible Lifestyle: How it is shaping your future?
How does it sound when someone tells you that he is in full control of what he does every hour of every day? Sounds too good to be true.! This is what digital nomad life is all about. Obviously a 9 to 5 buff finds it very hard to even imagine such kind of lifestyle!
The current society is all about exploring the person within you. The world is full of opportunities, experience & people, thanks to technology & travel. You have lot of things to experience.
We strive to do lot of things! Be it getting involved in community building activities, social & recreational clubs, youth gatherings & charitable committees. We subscribe to content on demand services such as Netflix & Amazon prime video to watch our favourite entertainment channels at the time we wish. not at the time when television signals tells us to. We use convenient on demand food delivery services & e-commerce apps to buy clothes so that we do not spend time going to restaurants & stores to buy our stuff & have more time fulfilling our passion.
Best way to en-cash & maximise your productivity is to take control of time in your own hands, do away with the conventional schedule that dictates our life such as fixed time for dinner, tea & workout & organise our time so that we can fit everything. Now you can finish your side hustles during early morning hours, get on with your work soon after & be part of networking possibilities during evening hours. Imagine doing so much in our free time, how much productive we can become, if we have control on every hour every day.
9 to 5 hustle was a prevalent mode to operate when businesses were local with less access to technology. However businesses are much global & connected technologically in this digital world. As such there is no need to follow a traditional approach of working from morning 9 to 5 sitting at a fixed bench/locations.
Companies operate on a flexible mode now & it does not matter if you are sitting in your office or at your home or somewhere near nature or mountains. If your manager gives you a go ahead to work flexibly, you can have control over your own time & schedule your work at the time when you can be more productive. You will realise how your dream looks like & actually living that dream.
You would recognise how you can find time to visit your doctor during weekday or get enrolled in yoga session since you have freedom to decide time of your work & plan your week accordingly.
Now you do not have to be at office at sharp 9 am, have breakfast, mingle out with your colleagues & actually get into your work by 11 am. By that time you have already lost that fresh time when you are most productive.
Every individual is unique, most productive/ works best a certain time & cannot fit in a 9 to 5 slot. Although, productive time for lot of them may overlap, not all can be that efficient. What if professionals can work on deliverables at time when they are most focussed & energised. As an employee, you will strive for meeting deadlines. With flexible work style, employees can not only deliver work within the timelines, but also get time to live their passion/dream. They can strike a balance between personal & professional goals, making you all rounded & satisfied individual. For some it may be taking time out for fitness, watching their favourite sport or going for a martial arts class.
Finally, this sounds smart to have a fluidic & adaptive lifestyle so that you have ample to explore possibilities & live your life to the fullest
