Agree with most ofmyour points, and I even find that my boss hectors me much less now after hours than he did before I went remote(and his non-stop office interruptions were the reason I moved off-site, so big win there).
But I think I'm much less efficient, focused. Personal flaw, probably. But when at the office I never wasted a second, and grew to resent boss interrupting to come watch latest Yahoo Sports video. I wanted to get the heck out. Now I'm too inclined to piddle. Rather than stair-stepping up 5 flights to pace, I'll rake leaves then fix the kids a snack, then I've got to work after normal hours to catch up.
Also, my study used to be a refuge. Now it's where I work.
But I do enjoy nice days when I can work from the boat and no one's the wiser.
