True, I’ve had to mix things up.

I’ll go sit outside on the front porch and work sometimes. Or I’ll go out for lunch somewhere by the house.

Occasional travel helps. I also have a dedicated space in the house that is removed from my living spaces.

I have to go to the office twice a week. It’s 100% pointless.

where's all the old Gen X'ers like me who actually like going into the office? surely I can't be the only one left

I could not do a shared commute. Having to be scheduled and rigid about going to and from would be a pain.
