Working from home requires a lot more discipline. For some people that's not a problem, for a lot of people it is.

edit: based on responses I didn't communicate clearly. What I mean is that there are way more potential distractions at home. Some people are still able to be productive in spite of that, but a lot of people (including myself!) are less productive. For some people it may even be the case that working from home there are fewer distractions, although I imagine that's pretty rare.

I have ADHD and this is a nightmare.

I haven't taken a vacation all year. (What's the point?) I haven't seen friends or family since March/April. I'm at my computer 24/7. (I've actually fallen asleep using it.)

I think I've actually started aging faster.

It also requires them to discipline their family, the possibility of which varies hugely and may be somewhat outside the worker’s control.

whoa whoa. don't put the onus on individuals and their choices or you'll be downvoted to oblivion.

I'm not saying it's a personality flaw or anything like that. It's just the reality that many people who are productive in an office environment are less productive outside of it. I'm no different there! It's way easier to take a nap or sleep in or whatever when working from home.
