Everyone gets sidetracked at work by different stuff. Working from home can be LESS distracting . . . if coworkers derail you the most. Or it can be MORE distracting . . . if you get caught up by dumb stuff like reorganizing your spice rack by "emotional tone."

The "top distractors" for Boomers are "colleagues chatting" . . . political news . . . and major news events (like whatever your Aunt Louise is ranting about on Facebook).
