The most productive workday I've ever had was when I met with my company's IT Helpdesk, and chose to work the rest of my day at an empty desk that was available. All the background noise acted as great white noise for me, and I could focus without distraction. As an ADHD'er, although I've gotten accustomed to it in the last year and change, my productivity takes a serious hit working remotely. I'm the only developer on my team in my office, the rest are on the other side of the country, but the benefit of going into the office for me is to have a productive workspace, less so than a collaborative one. I think my need is kinda niche though, and doesn't reflect most people's feelings about working from home.
