I am the exact opposite. I used to hear about people going to coffee shops and doing work and I would go there and I’d just be completely distracted by everything around me. I was forced to work in an open office for a while and I would have to leave early and risk getting in trouble so that I could get work done at home.
That's interesting, though I feel the same about open offices.
The difference for me is strangers vs. colleagues.
There's a lot more interruptions when you know the people around you.
