1. 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞: You can take breaks at any moment, feel no rush to hang up on your family members when they call, and eat lunch at any weird time you want
2. 𝐂𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Set up your noise level just the way you want it — somewhere between insanely quiet to being at the front row of a Lady Gaga concert. And if you’re mindful of your workspace ergonomics, you can create a stronger rhythm for your workflows.
3. 𝐂𝐨𝐳𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬: You get to wear those sweatpants from college with the letters peeling off, or the leggings your friends don’t know you own. (And hopefully never will.)
4. It’𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬: You won’t have to scramble to find a conference room or deal with a particularly chatty co-worker.
5. 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨-𝐝𝐨’𝐬: That Mt. Everest laundry pile waiting for you? That thing you set a reminder to get from the store 11 weeks ago? Cross. It. Off.
6. 𝐍𝐨 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Avoid co-workers debating the merits of cryptocurrency, sirens wailing outside your window, the AC kicking in as you hide your icicle tears.
7. 𝐙𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: From bed to … bed? Hey I’m not judging, it’s nice.
8. 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲: Lunch is expensive if you work in a city or downtown. In San Francisco, it’s not crazy to see a $15 sandwich or $4 coffee. At home, you can save big time by going to the store and preparing food.
9. 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜: No stuffing yourself into a rickety transportation tube, having people scuff your new shoes, or walking behind agonizingly slow people who apparently don’t know what a straight line is. (Am I bitter? No … not bitter … )
10. 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬: Take care of a sick significant other at home, be ready for your kids earlier in the day, get some extra snuggles in with your doggo, or simply get some quiet time to yourself!
