Don't sell yourself short. Everyone works differently and not everyone keeps the same interest in how they work forever. I personally don't mind an office or the clear delineation between work and life if the office and company are set up in such a way as to not crush my spirit and allow flexibility. Otherwise I like being to work however I want. Usually this ends up being coffee shops. Right now this is coffee shops while I'm road tripping and living out of my car. It works for me kind of, certainly wouldn't for everyone. But, I can't work at home. Even if I have a home, I go to a coffee shop or park, partly for the reasons you mention.

I have had the same mentality. Being married for the past few years and with a step-daughter, I've been thinking of having better boundaries like that.
If it were just me, I think I like remote work, living alone, just fine.

It's also much more supportive of different levels of productivity throughout a day. I have incredibly poor consistency when it comes to focus. So sometimes I'll sit down and not be abke to get anything done, so maybe I'll go exercise and pick it up at a time where I'll be abke to concentrate.
