I spent a few years travelling 90 minutes each way to work, now I've reduced that to about an hour each way.
My gf on the other hand works from home 3 days a week, but there is no separation. She'll 'finish' at later hours, and continue talking to clients through the night, weekends, vacations. There is no escape.
For me, I walk away at 5pm and there could be a monkey tearing up my desk and I'll not give the tiniest shit until I clock in the next day.
Can't put a price on that separation, imo.
Yep. And it isn't just the working more, it is that feeling of "always at work", always walking by the office, day and night. It is good to have the option to work from home, but I think those who choose it too often, are doing themselves a disservice down the road.
