...I've looked into office space to get away from other obligations.
I think I will have a commercial office when I go full time.
There are many pros in having an office in the house, but I wonder if having more distance between work and home will outweight many of those benefits. |

There's benefits and disadvantages to both and I've done both.
However, what concerns me is that you said the following...
I've looked into office space to get away from other obligations.
If you have obligations during the trading day, there's a problem and having a sign on the door knob is not going to resolve those obligations.
Thus, when your at work regardless if its at home or at some office across town...
You should not have obligations until after work or prior to work...never during the trading day unless you want it that way.
If that's the case (you want the obligations or think its ok to have them)...they really aren't obligations.
Instead, your doing something personal to intentionally take time off from trading.
For example, I intentionally take time off from trading about 10mins every hour to re-energize sort'uv speak.
I use those 10mins to spend time with my family (spouse and toddlers) and I do not view such as obligations.
Also, I take a long lunch break from trading about 90mins long and part of it is used to take a short nap.
Once again, these are not obligations and I consider them essential for my longevity in trading the markets for +15 years to avoid burn out or worst.
Simply, the word
obligations implies these are tasks that needs to be done prior or after trading...not during trading.
