One of the largest benefits of being able to work remotely is not having to "stay late" to fix a high priority issue. Yesterday, an issue ranked at the highest priority landed on my desk at 2 pm. It's going to take 10-15 hours of my time to fix. I still went home at 4:30 pm like normal, spent some quality family time, then around 8 pm I logged in and went to work for several hours.

Another benefit is being able to maintain Inbox Zero, which in my case is more like Inbox Zero Unread Messages. 🙂
