I've worked for years at home and only recently at an office. A lot of people blame the kids, distraction, etc, but I disagree that it's the only factors.

If anything, maybe it's just too easy. There's no grist, no driving out, no parking, no meal hunting. The lack of movement makes one lazy, which becomes a feedback loop of no movement. It's similar to how in college study weeks, it's easy to just sit in bed with a laptop all day and yet get nothing done.

Maybe it's just me, but I like that I don't have to spend time preparing myself for work, travelling to the office, hunting for launch, etc. I'm not moving a lot on a daily basis, but I don't feel that hurts my productivity. Although I have a daily routine I'm trying to follow as much as possible (get up in time, do my breakfast, get some housework done before starting to work, etc).
