I think it depends on the individual but in general I think you are correct.  There are lots of ways to waste time in the office but at least there you have a greater level of accountability.  And again, many jobs simply cannot be performed remotely.  Where it probably works better is jobs where your results can be seen by your management.  For example, in the consulting world you are judged by the number of billable hours and you have goals you have to meet.  If you screw around mowing the lawn or doing laundry you have to make up for those lost billable hours.  But it's hard to be a remote bank teller or other similar jobs.  I also think there is a lot of lost benefit from collaboration.  Teams meetings are just not the same as walking down the hall and talking to someone.
