Rando he speak wisely.
If you have a car and can fit the bike in or on it, you can be very flexible.
One of my colleagues used to drive to work with his bike in the car, and then cycle home. The following morning, of course, he couldn't opt out of cycling to work even if he felt like it, but at least he'd had a night's rest to recover. Once at work, he could then choose whether to cycle home again or take the car. And so on through the week.
There comes a point, of course, at which you leave the car at home and cycle to work, thereby committing yourself to doing it both ways in one day - but you can pick a nice day with no hurry to get home to do this for the first time.
