Is work from home (WFH) better? Or is going into the office better?

I’ll tell you my answer, it’s WFH.

The benefits of having one are quite literally, life-changing.

Today, I’ll share a story from my workplace that highlights the difference between WFH life and the in-office life.

If you live within a 20-minute walk of your job, this doesn’t really apply to you.

This is for the 1 - 2 hour commuters.

On Feb 3, I got a company-wide email from our CEO:

Minutes later, our head director sent a similar email but with one difference.

In her email, she said that my team - the product and technology team - didn’t need to follow the 4-day office rule.

Instead, we could WFH 4 days a week and come in once.

Now, you’re probably asking:

Without going into too much detail, being in tech played a big factor.

Tech teams typically have a remote-friendly culture.

But the real reason I’m telling you this story?

Because once that email was out, the entire company was buzzing about it.

And after hearing about my co-workers’ commute struggles, I realized just how much the office can drain your time.

The problem isn’t the office itself, it’s the commute.

Our office is beautiful, we have a library, massage chairs, and a gaming room.

But even all that isn’t worth the commute stress.

Don’t believe me?

Here’s my co-worker’s daily routine looks like:

That’s 4+ extra hours every single day.

You could use that time to meal prep, work out, do a hobby, etc. Instead, you’re wasting it on commute.

This doesn’t have to be your life though.

Most people think the escape is entrepreneurship.

But you CAN have a 9-5 that doesn’t feel like one.

Here’s what my WFH routine looks like:

My favorite part? My midday walk.

Being able to step outside, enjoy the fresh air, and come back, while still on the clock, is true freedom.

Don’t get me wrong, I still like going into office once a week, but I like it because I have the freedom to choose.

I’m not being forced, that’s the difference.

Now ask yourself, which daily routine do you want for the next 40+ years of your career?
