Working from home is awesome. You can work without constant supervision, and you don’t need to worry about that pesky commute. However, you should probably find something to commute to anyway.
As business blog Entrepreneur points out, there are some hidden benefits to a commute that are lost on people who work from home. When you don’t commute, you can lose some much needed physical movement, you interact with fewer people, and even some daily rituals can fall by the wayside. If you’re missing out on those basic needs, find someplace to commute to every day, even if you don’t work there.
Even something as simple as getting dressed to go out can lift the spirits, along with the good feeling you get from grooming and preening yourself. Make it a point to get in the shower every morning and dress for work, even if you don’t leave your home. It will make a huge difference in how professional you feel, and act, in your office, and you’ll be ready to dash out the door at a moment’s notice when a friend or new client wants to meet you for lunch.
Finding a commute doesn’t mean you need to work away from home, of course. You can take a daily trip to a coffee shop, gas station, or somewhere else you might frequent regularly on a real commute. Maybe when you take a break, you can go for a walk or a drive to a nearby park. If you can find a space to work outside the home for a bit, that’s great, but even if you can’t (or don’t want to), just getting outside of your house as a daily routine can help improve your life.
