You know, it's weird, but for me, not having the buzz of other people around me all the time makes it easy for me to concentrate.... as long as I stay off HN, Reddit, and Imgur.

Seriously, HN is a gigantic delicious timesink that has probably cost all of us collectively millions.

In other words, an opportunity to understand why you procrastinate and build good working habits.

Happens quite easily at the office too, with all the table tennis, foosball, free food and drink and regular meetings.

Heck I'm doing it right now with just a web browser sat at my desk...

And how being in an office prevents that?

I live pretty close to where I work, probably 20 minutes on foot. This is great for many reasons, but I also work in a public place (a library) and might have personal reasons to go there on days I'm not working. I do not do this because I just can't bring myself to hang out where I work. It's not that my coworkers are not respectful it's just that I don't want to.

Working from home was like being at work all the time. It started to wear on me. Now that I'm more mature I might be able to handle it, but at the time I just couldn't sustain.
