less laundry (by rewearing sweatpants and flannels)
more time working (earn more)
It's good for the environment and your body & soul.
less commuting and consumming
clean, and have a great home always
exercise, and be healthy and strong
enjoy a cup of coffee and breakfast while diving into work
like a civilized person not rushing into the rat race
Easier to do when you don't have to commute, and can work out over lunch, at home, a local run, etc.
Easier to do on work days when you only have 1 day in a row of long hours and a work out to cap it off. Less of a grind.
Most people in America these days, as 1 factor why savings have dwindled, spend ~25% of their income on housing.
For that much of your budget, it is well worth your time to both make your home nice, and, spend more time around it doing cool things.
isolation (cause you're at home)
laggy videochat is so frustrating
laggy audiochat is even worse
The ideal solution I have found to balance quiet hours and enjoying my home while I work, with subway commuting and office time, is doing a spread of office and home days.
To have a consistent schedule, I keep M/W/F in the office, to start the week meeting with people and getting the agenda straight.
And because taking M/F at home consistently is easy to extend the weekend longer than you should. Even despite the best work ethic and starting intentions at home.
That being said, when I actually have cause to travel, and get out of town the night before or come home a day later, a Monday or Friday is greatly appreciated.
videochat = use the video to talk as often as possible
"hangout" - actually sit with chats open for a couple hours while doing independent work
talk through the work/product, the changes, how to test it, and future work
tickets - everything commented in tickets
regardless of the rest of the week, start the week as a team on Monday in Office, or with some good hangouts at the least.
