I love the split / flex model! See your POV easily though. A decade ago, maybe a bit more, I consolidated into a backpack. Laptop, often second portable display, various adapters, chargers, clipboard, writing tools, phone, earbuds (I still prefer wired, if nothing more than the crazy good mic mine have), sewing, grooming, first aid... Seems like a lot, but it isn't, and where I go the pack goes. I can go from cold, arrive somewhere, and be up and running in a few minutes. Have not maintained a dedicated office for years now. I do have dedicated work places, and have a few things, cheap things, duplicated for convenience. These days, I have a home lab, work space, well equipped. Can do most anything I need there. This was not expensive, but I did also get gear over time too. Most of it was opportunistic buys. Total deals. At work, any gear I need I either use where it is, or it is in my workspace. The end result is a very mobile way. I am currently out of State for a week, and am pretty much fine, minus some gear, but I am also not needing to handle the associated roles either. For quiet, I am on cell phone, no desk phone for the last decade. Use a spare room, my car, at home space, whatever. The big perk is being where I both want and need a very high percentage of time. Would hate full time at office. Would have to have one to start!
