My experience is that I'm much more effective in a focused environment where I am accountable and there are no other distractions. Someone next to me or multiple people working in an office will know if I or a co-worker is doing something personal and not focused on the business and abiding by the company's work policies. I appreciate the suggestions in the podcast to get all of the distractions out of the home office. I am not more creative in the home office versus the traditional office. Being unfocused and having too many home distractions is just a killer to my productivity. I also had tried years ago a few times to build a virtual internship team, and this was a nightmare as no student or graduate was accountable to start. They were self-centered and wanted to meet their own needs first.
