There should be some colloqualisms around this to recognize that there are valid positions across the spectrum. I'm a hardcore WFH'er, an introvert with a dedicated office in a beautiful spot in the woods and no colleagues at my work location which is a 45 minute commute each way.

On the other hand I work with extroverted young folks that are sitting on the edge of their bed all day in a stuffy bedroom with one window so they can work from the top of their dresser in an apartment with three other roommates.

Not to mention that some roles requiring tight focused interaction (such as mine) benefit greatly from in person meeting.

Ideally, for me, I'd be in office two days a week (and no more). I'm much more productive on my technical tasks at home.

I like to think that different places serve different purposes for me. When I think of the woods I think of a place to relax, connect with nature and to take my mind off of work. To make that my workplace where I am introducing the stresses of workplace challenges or even the occasional work crisis, only serves to corrupt that space and my connection to it.

Disclaimer: I realize not everyone would share that point of view (and clearly having an office in the woods is working well for you), but that's my perspective on it.
