        "summary": "Wiwid, 38, a document controller at a Jakarta BUMD, argues that WFH can blur boundaries between work and family life and raise burnout risks. She has implemented simple time boundaries, including instructing her children to eat quickly and pausing work to attend to them, to sustain productivity. The piece highlights the daily juggling faced by working mothers balancing domestic duties with professional responsibilities.",
        "content": "<p>Working from home is often seen as offering more comfort than working\nfrom the office because you don\u2019t have to endure the commute. But for\nWiwid (38), a document controller specialist at one of Jakarta\u2019s\nregional-owned enterprises (BUMD), working from home presents its own\nchallenges that require a specific strategy to avoid mental fatigue or\nburnout. As a mother and an employee, a day working from home for Wiwid\nisn\u2019t simply about completing documents or attending virtual meetings.\nAt the same time, she must also respond to her children\u2019s needs and\nmanage a work rhythm that often stretches into the night. One of the\nbiggest challenges when working from home is dividing focus between work\nand the needs of her children, which often come unpredictably. For the\nmother of two, this situation often arises when she is wrestling with\ndocuments or attending online meetings, while her children require more\nattention. \u2018Sometimes when I\u2019m working and a child is around, they\nbecome more clingy, wanting to be fed, but I\u2019m still handling work. The\nchild wants to be close to their mother all the time,\u2019 Wiwid said in an\ninterview with Kompas.com. Rather than forcing herself to juggle two\nroles at once, Wiwid chose a compromise approach which, she says, is\nmore realistic. That simple boundary became her way of ensuring she\ncould keep up with her work without neglecting her children. \u2018Sometimes\nI also tell my child not to take too long to eat. After that, I return\nto handling documents, Zoom, or other tasks,\u2019 she said. This approach\nkeeps her work rhythm intact even when it is occasionally interrupted by\ndomestic matters. The time flexibility of WFH is often seen as an\nadvantage. But for Wiwid, this condition presents a challenge that must\nbe faced.<\/p>",
