Oh no, don't get me wrong, I work from home just fine. If I'm working from a cafe, restaurant or bar, I'm spending the whole time there distracted Which I guess is indeed a personal issue, so far play

I didn't fully understand the glory of working from home until I did it on a snow day. Removing the commute was an obvious, expected benefit. But turning off the camera and doing laundry or cooking lunch while in one of my multiple daily conference calls was amazing. I just had the meeting in my headphones and chimed in when needed. And it annoys me that can't be my regular routine. I drive 3-4 hours a day in traffic to sit in a (very nice) office where 95% of my work is remote work using cloud-based software and attending Teams meetings. But because once a week or so someone may walk into city hall and ask for me instead of sending an email or making a phone call I'm expected to be in the office. Which is doubly annoying since most of the time they get turned away because I'm already in a separate online meeting when they show up. I do legitimately have to attend public meetings a few evenings a month. I'd be so happy to compromise and go into the office on days with public hearings or when I need to visit a site, but work remote the remaining 80-90% of the time. Hell - I'd even trade working an extra hour a day while remote to do it. It'll still save me time versus driving.

Not work from home, "work from home" (i.e. not in the office) somewhere fun. I have no problem setting up at home and getting down to business. But sitting on a beach or in a park might not work out the same. Realistically, there are issues with lighting, ergonomics, having power, internet connectivity, etc.
