How do you increase your productivity when working from home?

Working from home has a ton of traps, like:

• Family members think that just because you’re home, you’re always available and need to drop everything for them.

• Your workday can stretch across the entire day, and sometimes you don’t even know when to stop.

• You start missing real social contact.

• But it also has some huge upsides:

• You save time and money on commuting.

• You can sleep in a little longer.

• You get to schedule your day exactly how it suits you.

So how do you make the most of remote work and actually become more productive?

• Here are a few things that work really well for me:

• Tackle the hardest tasks as early as possible (eat the frog first thing).

• Alternate focused work with short recharge activities – for me, that’s usually a quick workout or movement break.

• Set clear boundaries with family: agree on “do not disturb” times, or simply put on headphones so everyone knows you’re in deep-work mode and shouldn’t be interrupted.
  
  P.S. I have been working remotely for more than 4 years.

I'm looking forward to seeing your hacks. :)
