FWIW - I've been working from home for maybe 10 years now and I personally don't have a problem with focus (even with a toddler shouting 'papa' very loudly every half hour :). But in all the jobs I've done there is a gradual erosion of communication with in-office teams which can only be remedied by regular office visits. Not sure what I can do to remedy this; office visits are hard (the office is in a different country), Slack ends up being noise, and emails, well who has time for emails? The only thing that seems to help is regular video calls; which is time consuming. I remember that the chap who runs Automattic uses P2 (a Wordpress theme) to communicate with his team; I've tried to use the corporate Confluence/Jira in the same way but it never seems to take hold.
