I don't understand this. There are certainly benefits (being in when parcels are delivered for example), but the extra hour a day of not commuting (the average US commute is tiny!) gives you time to do chores, not to mention the extra time while you cook lunch where you could empty the dishwasher or whatever, much better than queuing for an overpriced sandwich for trader joes.
- mcv 8y agoPeople aren't that rational. Lots of people are very good at finding excuses to put off work. Find reasons to put off household chores, or use household chores as an opportunity to put off something else they should be doing. Some people have the discipline to ignore such distractions and stick to their work, but not everybody does. I certainly work better when I'm near others who do similar work, so that's the work situation I look for.
