I’m already reaping the rewards of WFH. I used to have the energy to go to gym maybe twice a week after work, then eat some rubbish food because I didn’t have the energy to spend another hour in the kitchen.

Now I can be at my gym when it opens at 06:30, have a good workout, shower, walk home, cook breakfast, and still have 30 mins before I need to start working.

I can even fit in short cardio sessions in the evening and have returned home and made a nutritious meal by the time I’d normally just be getting home from work.

I go to the gym seven times a week now with no net reduction in my free time.

I eat a better diet. I save money. I’m happier and more relaxed. My home office is a much more productive space than the noisy open plan office we have.

I never start the working day in a bad mood whereas a bad commute (delays, bad weather, unpleasant people, etc) used to put me in a lousy mood for the rest of the day.
