Extremely interesting.

"I like the peace and quiet at home and the ability to work uninterrupted. I always found the conversations in the office distracting. I multitask well and get more done in several hours at home than I ever did over several days in the office. Sometimes I glance at the clock and four hours have gone by."

— Sylvia Marino from “Debunking the Myths of the Telecommute” (NYTimes > Preoccupations)
