The “at home” needs two tiny slivers:

Asking my wife if she wants to come with me and the dog for a quick walk to stretch our legs

Is this true? When I’m at the office, I think the chatting and lunch and commute just expand my workday so it lasts 12 hours instead of 8.

I would agree with that. I’m very aware of how much less work I get done at the office when I have to deal with other people, or there was traffic, or just the disruptions that get me out of a productive headspace. It just makes the day longer - I don’t actually work less. I work more and I am unhappy.

My favorite thing is a light week, when I’m waiting for artist to send assets and can take like two hours to do arts and crafts or write poetry while waiting for a meeting to start. When I was communing that didn’t exist. No actual time to be creative.

I take naps at home, go to do errands, check internet stuff... Yes I save commutes, and have more time for myself, but that's about it. Plus as a creative, spending time with my partner results in better ideas.

All the people talking about how they workout, shower after a few meetings, make healthier lunches, get to pick up kids, don’t have to pay childcare, go for nice walks, see their family more and have lunch together, etc…they don’t get any slice of that wfh pie?

Charts like this are part of the problem: wfh has flaws too. Pretending it doesn’t, rather than addressing them, isn’t going to lead to long term support of it as an option.

I see what you’re saying VP. The chart falsely implies that every minute of wfh is spent working, and doesn’t account for lunch/shower/family/dog walking. It implies that the benefit of my being home is that you have my undivided attention - which you do not.

That said, as a gregarious distractable people-person, I’m healthier, more creative and more efficient at home.

And I’ll also add that I had some of the best mentorship of my career during this period of time.

Not true
