I'm not sure I agree. I'm far more productive working at home than I was in an office, but I've also thrown the whole idea of a work schedule out the window. I have my to-do lists and my deadlines, but I work when my mind is sharp, and don't when it isn't. Sometimes this means I work for 45 minutes, sometimes this means I work for 16 hours. Having the freedom to stop working and go do something else when I hit a mental wall means that every minute I am working is far more productive. I can collapse a tremendous amount of work into far less calendar time, just because I don't have the 2-hours "shake off the rust" time in the morning, the 3 PM "Only 2 more hours to go, and boy do I need a nap" lull, and the "I've got 17 other things going on which ensure that I'm going to get nothing done today, but I'm going to be in this chair for 8 hours anyway" days. I've found that I actually work hours than I used to, at a higher productivity level than I used to. I am very motivated and passionate about what I do, which helps an awful lot. I don't think that everyone could do it, and I don't think it's the best possible solution, but it works better than anything else I've tried yet.
