My own experience working from home probably follows this. I've gone back to work now, but I spent 6 months working at home. At the end it took me 12 hours of time to make up an 8 hour work day. It was just not sustainable for me.

My partner has had the opposite experience. They can typically knock out their work in 4-5 hours. Also, they have gained back a total commute time of ~2.5 hrs per day. That's like 24 extra days they've gotten back this past year in commute alone (24 DAYS!).

Granted they are privileged enough to have their own home office, with a door and are able to play music without headphones, and have no kids. As opposed to the office, which is in a cube farm.

If you're living with someone and had a long commute you're in a more ideal situation for WFH. (I mean, if you had kids it'd probably be even more ideal, not less.)

I live alone and practically next to my office, so while there's still advantages it mainly means I have to do chores more often and cook a lot more.
