The issue is that you will not be going directly from the “work” zone to "home, so you either need a proxy to represent that you were at work. You could use something like the History stats sensor-based condition given in this post.

You could use a Wait action.

trigger:
  - platform: zone
    entity_id: person.1
    zone: zone.work
    event: leave
condition: []
action:
  - alias: "Wait for me to get home"
    timeout: "01:00:00"
    continue_on_timeout: false
    wait_for_trigger:
      - platform: zone
        entity_id: person.1
        zone: zone.home
        event: enter
  - service: notify.YOUR_NOTIFIER
    data:
      message: abcd
      title: abcd

Note that waits do not survive restarts or reloads of automations so this method is not 100% reliable. If your commute is long and/or the notification is critical you will need to find an alternative.If you try this method, make sure to set the timeout as low as is reasonably possible for your commute.

Like this?

  - platform: zone
    entity_id: device_tracker.iphone_van_mieneke
    zone: zone.de_zijlen_leek
    event: leave
condition: []
action:
  - alias: Wait for me to get home
    timeout:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 20
      seconds: 0
      milliseconds: 0
    continue_on_timeout: false
    wait_for_trigger:
      - platform: zone
        entity_id: device_tracker.iphone_van_mieneke
        zone: zone.home
        event: enter
  - service: notify.mobile_app_iphone_van_jc
    data:
      message: Ben bijna thuis
      title: Mieneke```

What happens in the timeout time? Do i need to get home in that period of time?

A safer and perhaps more reliable way of doing it is to turn on a boolean when you leave work.
Then this boolean is a condition to send the message.

This does not wait and will work for days and even after restarts.

Yes, when using the wait for trigger you need to set the timeout to a reasonable length of time for you to get home.
