I don't want to go back on a daily basis, but I would love to go back twice per month or so (to socialize, mainly).

I don't want to go back because:

- I waste time while commuting (~30min. each day)

- I waste time socializing. Not bad, but hey I would prefer to do it at the bar not at the office and not everyday :)

- I waste time trying to focus. You know, open space office

- I don't feel comfortable in "office" clothes. It's not that I wear a suit or anything, but at home I am: barefoot, I don't wear underwear (I wear pants only!)... I hate wearing shoes and/or socks

- I wast time pretending I can work 8h/day. C'mon, it's 2021, no one (at least in my profession, IT) can say that it's possible to work totally focus 8h/day five days per week. That's BS. I can work fully focused 4h/day and call it a day. At home I don't pretend, so I have more time for myself

- I eat better at home. At home: Healthy snacks, plenty of fruit, small meals. At the office: kinda the same, but I don't get to pick which fruits and the like; besides they are gone fast (I do miss not having to pay for them, tho)
