I legitimately do not understand how people can spend that much time at home and not go stir crazy. That doesn't mean I want to force people into a situation because of my preferences, but gaddamn, having no context switch between work and home feels way more dystopian to me.
If you have an extra bedroom that you can use exclusively as an office, it's pretty great. When you're in your office, that's "work", and the rest of your house is "not work".
The context switch is what you make it. My switch is a daily ritual whereby I sit in a specific place and read for an hour with a little background music and a drink (if so inclined). That symbolically "closes the door" to the office, even though my flat isn't big enough for separate work/rest spaces.
