Well said, Josh. You can’t underestimate the intangibles from switching the environment. I live one stoplight from my office, not even one song before I get to work. Just that difference gets me in a completely different mode.
Gotta know your limitations and how to get around them.
It took me a long time to realize this. It is so nice being close to home, so I can go home for lunch sometimes. My office space is pretty small, but that was all I needed.
I’m pretty sure I have ADHD. I can work from anywhere. During tax season, I even worked from the ER, taking calls and meeting with clients virtually. I can make things happen no matter where I am. That said, I’ve found I’m most productive in the office, where I’m able to stay focused. My commute to the office is about 10 minutes.
I got an office because I was lonely at home. Single, live alone, no one to talk to but the four walls, not even a four legged creature.
However, my commute can be quite lengthy. Minimum is 40 minutes, maximum I've experienced was 2 hours. So, some days I do work from home. But I always know I've got those people in the office building that I can see the next day. I lucked out with a great space at just the right time. All in the "House", (built in 1938, each business has a bedroom), are fantastic people. They don't do what I do but they support me mentally. I am grateful to have this space to be my "Work" environment.
I don't see clients in the office, its just for me. My clients are everywhere as well.

Laundry can wait.
That is quite the commute! It is great that you have found a great space!
