>Personally, working from home is an absolute nightmare for me. There is an endless list of chores and things to do around the house that are a constant distraction and mind-space consumer, it is hard to disconnect at the end of the day, I am continually continually interrupted by family members (...and if I am not I am worrying if the kids are ok since why cant I hear them? Are they ok? Are they laying on the floor unconscious? etc etc), cleaners, the post man, the amazon delivery guy/gal, the list is endless. I have to keep half a brain "on-call" to listen out for and react to these interruptions.
the list is "endless", but what happens on any particular day is 0-1 of the items on the list. A workplace has that many interruptions per day.
on worry: when you're at the workplace, you're also too far away to help your family if they need it. "Can't help anyway; out of mind" might help you keep focus at work, but "If I'd only WFM I could've saved my child that was on the floor unconscious" will also be pretty distracting as an inner demon. These are pretty lame reasons, man.
