Working from home procrastination

Working from home procrastination – The GIF edition

Posted on February 1, 2019April 3, 2025

Working from home has its advantages and also many disadvantages, my day can be so varied and the distractions become too many to name.

I’ve previously written about 20 ways to procrastinate on a typical working day,  so I thought you may like to see in GIF form instead.

Working from home procrastination

6.30 am wake up

Enjoy a peaceful coffee

7 am drag the kids out of bed

Rush the kids to school as they refused breakfast, lost shoes etc

Peace and quiet, breakfast undisturbed

Start working

Prep dinner in a bid to save time, avoid work

Sort paperwork

Clear some of my to-do list

Catch up with friends

    Hahaha! All these GIFs make me laugh – because it’s so true, you get very distracted when working from home x

    The point is made in a funny way. It has its challenges but it also is conflict free too

    Haaaa this is totally my day, although Adam is a stay at home dad now so the cleaning and housework is *meant* to be his… but I will have a temper tantrum at least 3 times a week because it’s not done enough! H 🙂

    Working from home is so challenging for me. All I want to do is lay in my bed. Too many distractions.

    OMG!!! The real ness of this! It’s like we done a million things and nothing all at the same time. I’m trying to take it all in stride but it definitely gets hard sometimes! Perfect summary.

    This was too cute. Even though sometimes, I love working from home. It is such a distraction. I tend to focus on things that are not work related, then on the flip side I get more done at home, because I am not distracted by the phone or employees stopping in my office.

    Hahahahaha,
    “how’s your work day going?” replace kids with sending the cat outside and then realizing he’s been running around for five hours and that is me. 100% relating to every gif in this post!

    This was really cute. It is no small feat of willpower to stay on track while working from home. I am sure that some days are much less productive than others, but the beauty is that you get to choose!

    I guess there are many benefits as well as disadvantages to working home. I don’t mind being able to do what needs to be done from home though.

    This seriously had me laughing!!! It’s so true one can’t help but to laugh, otherwise we might cry lol! Thanks for the giggles!

    Haha yes, this totally describes working from home to me. I definitely make a cuppa and raid the fridge more than I probably could, haha!

    I work from home, and I maintain focus since I have trained myself to avoid distractions for example I will ensure I remove anything that may distract me, while working.

    Working from home procrastination list also applies to us part-timers. The Gif-edition adds punch to the ‘ Oh me too.. . can relate to these situations daily ‘

    Oh wow. I have to be honest, each and every one of these gifs perfectly describes me at various points in my life.
