Which layout is most functional and what are additional tips

Goal: Creating the most functional layout for my shotgun-style apartment

Soon I'm going to be moving out to this apartment with the floor plan above, and here's my personal attempt in fitting in what I need into this apartment and keeping it as functional as possible, a living space, a dining space, a office setup, and a bed.

A note about my annotation's, the dotted lines are how I imagined the flow of the walkway would be like since it's so linear, and the semi dotted lines are my furniture fully expanded

For my living space, since I know that most days I won't have guest over I opted for a lift top coffee table to dine at, while being able to watch TV, additionally I love collecting music and gave myself a corner where I plan to put a armchair and vinyl player. As well, it's anchored by a daybed that acts as a couch most times but is a bed for when guests come over.

For my Kitchen/Dining space I used a expandable kitchen island that can seat up to 8 player when fully expanded. I plan to buy stackable chairs for the occasion as well.

For my bedroom space, I fitted a full sized bed and a office setup.

While my main goal for my apartment is to maximize the functionality as much as possible I still feel for some things to be desired For starters, I work from home and feel that having my office space within my bedroom can make me feel sorta closed off. As well I like to somehow fit a drop-off area near the entrance for my shoes and various accessories.
