Silicon Valley offices less empty than other regions

I think this is pretty accurate other than the ADHD part.

Work from home is vastly superior to the distractions of an office (especially open offices) for me. At home, I have much more control over interruptions and noise, and completely eliminate the constant activity around me.

I actually never realized how badly ADHD hurt my productivity until I started working remotely and the constant distractions severely decreased.

I'm one of those ADHD people that needs chaos around me to focus. So open offices work great for me. I recently read that this is a thing with some people, but I can't remember the term.

I’ve read alot of anecdotes from ADHDs saying that they can’t stay on task at home given that, you know, they’re at home and no one’s watching

But I wouldn’t know what the breakdown would be between the two
