It depends on specific situation:
* I spend a lot more on gas than on the electricity delta
* I spend a lot more on food and drinks when I am in the office than at home; in the office I buy, at home is all home cooked. The food at home is also a lot healthier.
* the team I manage is spread in 2 other offices in different countries, nobody is in my country, so going to the office achieves nothing
* the extended team I work in, also spread even more, only one person in the same office as me. We already talk too much, more is not better
* spending 1-3 hours a day commuting (varies a lot if I ride the bike or drive the car, time of day and if it rains) never helped anyone
* I am not distracted by home life, I am too busy for that
* I am one of those very few people things are escalated to when the fan gets bent, so there is no much separation anyway
But I recognize there are some benefits of being in the office, even if overall for me it is not a net positive.
