“do not hover over your email” – extremely applicable to me hehe

Sort of related to that bit about designating work space: making sure that you work under similar, if not the same, conditions all the time can help you get to ‘work mode’ easier. I find that I am most productive if I’ve got soft music in the background, so I set up a specific playlist. Incidentally, everytime I hear songs from that playlist, I feel a wee bit more productive than usual.

When you work from home with a family it is extremely important that everyone knows the expectations. When I am home working my family knows I am really not there unless there is a huge emergency. It took some getting used to but after working from home for three years now our family has found a rhythm.
Thanks for the great post

Sure is a great post. As far as I’m concern to declutter and removing distractions has been the toughest struggle so far. Getting better but not quite there yet. I guess NON-FOCUS is the real issue here.

Great Advice. Sometimes it may be better to not work “at home”. Perhaps take to a cafe or library

I can attest to Twitter being a distraction, but then again so is the rest of the web. Just know when to cut it out and get work done. Once you get started, you’ll keep going.

Your tips are very good. When working at home we have to still practice the self discipline that we have while in the office. My biggest distraction is the IM and so I keep it off in order to concentrate on my day’s activities.

Great post! Scheduling “slack off” time as a reward is key for me. I don’t schedule it by time as much as by task– it is amazing how quickly you can complete tasks if you want to!
