I didn't consider that I was endorsing commuting. Point well taken.

If I had a nice weather-protected path to walk to work (like the underground networks in some major cities), walking would be far preferable to driving.

My argument, nay, my observation, is that some type of transition between work and home appears to be vital to my well-being. I suspect that the time component for that transition is just as important.

For example: What if I built an office in my garage? That would give me a physically different space, but I'd be deprived of that transition time to switch mindsets.

What I don't know is how much time is needed for the same effect. Would a 5 minute walk suffice? Could it be even better? Who knows?
