The lack of commute is a huge part of the appeal. If the office is half an hour away (which really isn't that bad if you live or work outside of a city), and you work from home, you get a whole hour back every day. I don't think I would ever make it to the gym if I had a long commute.
- mytec 10y agoAt a previous job I worked from home 2-3 days per week. My commute was 45-60 minutes depending on traffic. When I worked from home, I'd actually start working when I'd typically head out the door and work until the time I'd typically get home. The company got more from me and I didn't have to endure the commute (or the wear-and-tear on my car with stop-go traffic). Getting that time back in the evening, when needed, allowed me to schedule local appointments or meet a friend at a more reasonable time.
- kayoone 10y agoi have a 25 minute bike commute and a gym at the office, so i am actually get at least a good hour of workout for free everyday which i really enjoy as its quality thinking time too.
- funkymike 10y agoYou may even save more than the hour commute. When I work from home I also eat lunch at home. Since I normally go out to eat just to get away from the office for a little while that's even more time before I get home vs. being done for the day when working from home. So the 10 hours out of my day when going to the office with a 1/2 hour commute becomes 8 1/2 hours.
