For me, it's very clear how work/life balance is affected by working at home vs. working at the office. If I work at the office all the time, my home slowly becomes a mess: I'm always running late and I don't have time to clean up and organize my home. I don't eat. I start hating everything. I'm less productive at the office because I didn't eat and probably didn't sleep well. I can't concentrate. Forced socialization makes me miserable. When I go home I get depressed because I find a mess and I don't have energy to clean up. However, if I work at home, I work very happily, ideas start to flow, I concentrate, I take my breakfast when I need to, I take breaks not just to drink coffee and do the small talk thing some like, but to clean up a bit my home, eat, do errands, etc. If I stay at home, I'm happy, my home is clean and organized, I eat, and my balance feels right.
