After reading many columns and threads, I’m still a bit confused on the best way to charge my Model Y.

My daily commute to work is 2 miles each way. I currently rent a room in a townhome with no home charging but my workplace provides free charging. Every Friday after work, I drive 130 miles back home where I do have a home charger installed in the garage of my primary residence. Then on Monday or Tuesday morning (depends on when I flex - 9/80 schedule), I drive 130 miles back to work and charge at work to 90%. Then rinse and repeat.

(1) Should I charge each weekday to 90% at work and then stop to free up a spot for another car to charge.
(2) Keep it plugged in all day until I’m off (this will make me hog a spot and prevent others from charging).
(3) Charge when I get back to work from the weekend to 90% then don’t charge the rest of the week until Friday before I head home for the weekend?
(4) Or any other recommendations?

Sorry, I have a headache myself just thinking about all these possibilities.
