由於新冠肺炎肆虐全球，很多人必須待在家裡工作，以便減少辦公室的人群聚集。在家工作既減少通勤，又可隨時工作，累了可以隨時休息，其實好處多得很。只是，多數人認為自己沒有紀律每天維持固定工作量。
因為我從大學時代就培養了自律的習慣，再加上倔強的個性天生鄙視惰性，所以很喜歡居家日以繼夜一直工作的感覺。當然，有一點必須注意的是，過度投入工作會不會身心疲累，因此必須多多運動鍛鍊體力。
剛開始居家接翻譯案子的時候，都是師法村上春樹的辦公方式。當然，他跑馬拉松的習慣我是學不來的。靠游泳維持體力倒是很好的方法。一直靠運動習慣維持繼續寫作的方法，作為居家工作的第一大動力，再適合不過。
Due to the global pandemic of Covid-19, many professionals have to work from home now to reduce the chances of mass gatherings at offices. Working from home reduces exhausting commuting, and you can work and rest at any given time. Despite these advantages, most people find it struggling to deal with the lack of self-discipline to get certain amount of work done each day.
I made self-discipline my habit since university days. And I have to say that due to my stubborn personality, I abhor laziness. This explains why I love the feeling of working day and night at my home office. Of course, I have to make sure that I do not overwork myself.
Some might ask what if we stay in home office for too long? Well, for me, doing physical exercise is a good reason to get out of my home office.
Haruki Murakami’s working style is I have been imitating ever since I first started as a full-time translator working from home. I have to stress that one matter needs clarification: marathon is not something I can learn. It is, however, a good method to train and maintain stamina with regular swimming sessions.
It is more than suitable that we make physical exercise the great motivator to continue writing and running business from our home office.
