it gives me a definitive separation between work and home.

This is big for me since I don't have an office space at my house. I didn't mind working from home during COVID but I also don't mind having to go into the office. That said, my commute is only like 7 min to the office. I would like to be able to have a hybrid schedule though. Being able to work from home 3 days a week would be ideal for me. My working from home setup is a desk in the corner of my living room so the space where I work is the same room I relax and it was tough to have that separation.
