A large percentage of working class individuals now do it from home, the psychological mind set of people whenever they are at home initially is just to rest but now the home has been transformed from a place of rest to a place of work. How then do we get over all the distractions associated with working from home? At a time like this when most of us do not have a choice, either we are comfortable with it or not, we just have to work from home since most companies now want their staff to work from home.
Treat time as very essential.
It is easy to imagine that you still have more time to yourself when you are working from home, a deliberate decision for productivity will change that view and help you discover how less of a time there is in every 24 hours. Creating a time-based rule for yourself will as well help you realize how fast time is and how valid every second of your time is also.
Having some sort of cool background sound can help.
If you are a lover of music, while working you can just conveniently play some cool musical background that will help in boosting your productivity for that period, this is definitely not applicable to everyone because to some people music is a form of distraction so if you belong to this category it will be better to ignore this suggestion.
You could spend time at your local library.
For now, local libraries are opened and it is free for everyone to walk in and make use of it, if the distraction from home is too much for you to handle, it will be better to walk into a local library and spend productive hours there and retire back home for the night.
Take the project one at a time.
If you have a piled up job and you are trying to get each of the jobs done halfway, it is not going to account for anything productive but if you take the projects one after the other accomplishing each of the task individually, you will be able to record a better level of productivity.
Explain to your kids.
If you have kids at home, that is a whole lot of distraction on its own and yelling at them will do no good, but you can have a heart to heart conversation with them and make them see reasons why you need to concentrate on work without them jumping around for a few hours, I am sure they will understand and co-operate with the rules you give to them.
