A good interaction with a CA.
Yesterday, I met one of my old friend's son .
He is Chartered accountant.
He gave me a great learning.
To have separate work place (office) and home.

He shared:
Uncle I was fed up from my family members, and friends who aren't as educated as I am.
3
I had office at home for about 4 years after my getting CA certificate of Practice.
To save office expenses and devote more time to office, I started my practice at home.
BUT this caused lots of stress.

I was stressed.
Because all family elders, my parents, my wife, brother's kids, brother interfered a lot in my work.
My professional work responsibility demanded more focus, more conentration and my family did not understand.
I felt.
Entire day, all family members remained in preparing tea and serving to clients.
No privacy at all.
This destroyed family's peace ✌️ of mind.
I felt
"I earn, family must follow me." Wrong.
Father felt:
I am head of family. Family must obey whereas owing to old age, he was unable and capable to do so.
Brother felt:
Younger brother( me) must obey though he was matriculate.
Wife felt:
I am wife.
In All financial and family matters, ALL should follow.
She was highly emotional and less rational as she was just graduate domestic woman.
Always wanted to win and not listen 👂 to others.More stubborn and static attention
No experience of एजुकेटेड educated world. Every day, world is changing.
Later I realized that it's not family that's wrong.
It's me who is wrong.
Because I am CA, not family.
I operate from home.
I must have separate OFFICE.

Last year, I shifted my office to this isolated place after great hitches and hackles.
And have realized:
* More spare time for thinking
* My own brand is boosted.
* Productivity boosted.
* Clients increased 3 x.
* Finances improved.
* Mental health improved.
* More planning, more freedom.
* Full office work, full family time.
* More transaction, more transparency.
* Less tension, more clarity as I write ✍️ diary for daily routines and planning for next 2 years.
Lesson learnt.
Work from office
away from home
boosts self productivity.
