The Absurdity of the Return-to-Office Movement::The return-to-office demands make little sense from an overall economic perspective, while working parents, in particular, benefit from not having to waste time commuting to an office, writes Peter Bergen.

I had a separate wardrobe for work, had a separate phone that I turned off when I went to bed, separate laptop, all that.

It really helped me keep a sense of separation.

But most of the time my commute was on a bus so I could work the whole way in and out. Commuting by car would have suuuuuucked.

The wardrobe is a good point! I would also add that if your behind computers all day that you spend the extra to make your home office environment comfortable as much as possible. You really do take climate control for granted in the office setting ๐Ÿ˜‰
