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.
Hi @ojerinde
Certainly, the jobs are from home, I currently even my classes that I must teach my subjects online.
and somehow the possible distractions are when I am in the classes and one of my two daughters passes by the front of the camera.
that is a distraction for me and for the students.
however, I already managed to set rules so that this does not happen again.

Greetings friend, I identify with your writing, since like many I find myself working much of my time at home, I like to listen to music while doing the work, and I have tried to manage the distractions with my young children, I think they are my great distraction.
See you later, have a great week !

I do not have kids yet but my siblings are highly distracting, my big sister believes so much in family conversation that she always wants us to all spend time together and although I love it, I also need to work.

You must have a discipline and treat the work environment like if it were your office or your work legitimate.A good idea is to dress as if you were going to work, and have a set schedule.This prevents procrastination and distraction
