I think it depends on the job. I currently have a WFH job which is essentially call center tech support, and I barely have time to shit. It’s basically full throttle the moment I punch in until I punch out. It leaves me with 0 time to be distracted. I could potentially see myself getting into bad habits if I had a position that had ample down time/projects over a long time frame.
For people prone to distraction it helps to designate a work space at home. Preferably a separate room, but it could be as simple as a desk in the corner. You then follow the same routine you would going into the office except your commute is just walking to your work space.
Just as important, you need to ignore that space when you’re off the clock. That way you can have a definite separation of work mode and home mode.

If you have a traditional house with a basement, that’s very doable. People living in apartments, not so easy.
If nothing else you can just pick a corner and hang a blanket. I’ve got my desk next to the window in the living room.
