I too have come to realize that I in many ways miss the office. The main thing is the clear separation between home and work both mentally and physically.
At work I had my work desk with my work computer and work files and my work stuff. At home I had my home desk and home computer. When at home I could not (easily) access my work computer or work files. When at work I could not access my home computer and home files. It made it easy to compartmentalize the two and stop one bleeding into the other. There was something definitive about walking out of the office for the day that I kind of miss.
I also liked my 'commute', which was either a 20 minute bus ride or a 50ish minute walk. It gave me a chance to clear my head, refocus and switch 'modes'.
Going forwards I'd like to see companies offer the choice
Obviously agree. As much as I really do miss the office, I hope to never again have a job where I am forced to be there 5 days a week.
