Distraction: The Number One Problem

Most of the work that most people do for most of the day is better in an environment that you control without other people tapping you on the shoulder. Unequivocally better somewhere away from co-workers. And the gap is so wide the office will never catch up. Period. -

Phil Kirschner

Then the opposite is true. For hosting, informal interactions, and learning the office is so much better than the home environment. The home will never catch up. - Phil Kirschner

'Horses for Courses' they used to say

Some work's better done alone, without interruption.
Some work activities are better done together, in a purpose built set up.
All in one, or average solutions, generally underperform for groups and activities.

And to completely overstuff this post with metaphor, pick the right tool for the job, and that includes location.
