Going into the office reminds me that I’m part of a team, working on something important, and gives me a space where I can focus and get things done. Also helps me build deeper relationships with people. I have very rarely gotten into an impromptu conversation about someone’s kids remotely. Stuff like that happens every time I go in.
Working from home gives me flexibility and uninterrupted heads down time (in theory) but I’m generally much more distracted.
I think people (myself included) overestimate their ability to get stuff done at home. There’s an adverse incentive, because being honest with yourself about that means you might have to go in more. But people vary. Some people are very disciplined working from home.

Hybrid is the way.
