I work remotely and do end up going a bit crazy if I work from home 100% of the time, especially as I live alone.
A good compromise was going to a free coworking space for the afternoons which has been working out great. I don't have that rush to leave the house in the morning, I chat to some people, I can come/go as I please, I am not constantly interrupted like when I am in the office. It has the benefit of being 5 minutes away on my scooter, too.
For me it's a great balance. I feel way more productive and energised. Every 3 months I go work from the office for a week and the thing I notice more than anything is that I am absolutely shattered by the end of the week. Offices and commuting are incredibly tiring and pretty terrible for work life balance.
- sleepychu 10y agoWho provides the free co-working space and why?

I'm sure there are other free alternatives (coffee shops etc.) but to be fair I think there are proper paid ones for not that much if you don't require your own permanent desk.
