Many of us are of the view that skipping the daily commuting is indeed one of the major advantages of working from the comfort of home. There are undoubtedly a few advantages attached to traveling to the office each day but it is indeed tough to find merits in a clogged highway or a packed subway every other day.

Even if you do not enjoy your commute to the office every day, this is obvious that daily commuting can be quite healthy as compared to working from home.

One of the obvious reasons is that when you have an office to go daily, this force or compels you to go outside your house daily. If you have been working from your home for a while, you must be able to realize that it is annoying to work in pajamas every now & then. When you get ready for a beach day out or for a formal dinner, the attire & grooming can considerably influence your mood. Same is the case when you work. You may not build the right mood and temperament to work productively when you are working in pajamas from your home. Still, working from home once in a while is okay but working in pajamas month after month may end up lowering your motivation level and your optimum temperament to work will be affected considerably.

The same is also true while getting dressed for work every day. Even if you are an employee in a startup where everyone usually dresses down, this is obvious that some amount of grooming is still required when you are going for a client meeting, etc. While you have an office to go, you will have to push out of bed every lazy morning and then have to switch the mental gears to the working mode. This builds the virtue of punctuality and discipline in you over the course of time. If you want to work from home permanently, then you might lack the sense of proper timing of your work hours. You may end up being laid back and lazy over the course of time if you continue to work from home. So, it is always wise to opt for a coworking space if your business is not big enough to hire a private office.
