1. redundancies

3. Better: The best thing about weekends is not having to go to work

The ending reads a little funny, although it isn't wrong. Consider: "It's not going to work" = "It won't work."

5. "Commuting to work every day" is sufficient.

"And back" - sounds odd. Normally we would say "commuting to work" or "commuting back and forth to work."

7. wear to work - sounds more normal.

There may be a specific reason to use "at work" though, but "in the office," "on the job," "during office hours," "when meeting with clients" would be more usual.
