I actually thought i'm the type of person who needs the office.

Apparently i'm not. That gives me great hope for my future plan to do home office when buying a farm.

Just yesterday i did nothing in the morning and worked highly concentrated and efficient until 10pm (that was a one time thing normally i'm quite punctual as i had an private appointment).

When working at the office, i have to hurry to be on time and at the evening i'm stressing on going home because i wanna see my wife and a wanna eat something. Now my wife is here anyway and i'm much more flexible now.

I like the flexibility, but you have to be conscious to still set boundaries. Having to leave the office to catch my train on time is a great motivator to make sure everything is wrapped up and I don't linger at the office. When work is at home, what's another 15 minutes, or 30, or 2 hours.. I'm hearing from my coworkers that they are having a hard time with separating at the end of the day, when "going home" is just going into the other room (or disconnecting from the VPN).

Yup, the thing I always try to remember is tomorrow's another day and that whatever I'm working on likely isn't as important as I'm making it out to be.
