While I wouldn't diminish the distractions found in an office, I'm not sure if I ever ran into a case where 7 hours of my day was wasted on nonsense that wouldn't have occurred had I been at my house.
I've been telecommuting two days a week for the past 2.5 years and have found that certain things get done significantly faster at home and other things get done significantly faster at the office. I have a job where I'm coding maybe 5-10% of the time, and most of the coding is done at home where I can assure that there will be few distractions outside of my control. The same goes for any activity, done solo, and requiring prolonged concentration.
