Hey Ivan... Started writing a response but it got a little long for HN, so it turned into a post: http://nabeelhyatt.com/post/55107292357/making-exceptions-fo...
Physical face-time with your team is also very important, and there is some cognitive load on the rest of the team when you have to remember which days someone is supposed to come in, etc.
I'm not a fan of part-time, but obviously there are certain roles/companies in which it turns out to be an ideal situation. Of course, I know amazing designer who really does make this work well for herself and her company; however, I worry that she's the rare exception ;)!
