UK remote workers lose two days a year to distractions

Employees who work from home are losing an average of two days a year, according to a new report.

A study of 2,000 office workers looking into the supposed benefits of remote working, specifically working from the comfort of your own home, has found that people are too easily distracted. One in four participants confessed that they never quite manage to get into “work mode”, losing track of the task at hand up to four times a day.
