How do you deal with distractions while working from home?

I start my day with a list of things I must do. As soon as they're done, I take time for something nice like booking a trip, shopping, or simply walking outside.

These are some of the most useful things I've done working from home. Set boundaries: Set boundaries with family and friends to let them know when you are working and when you are available. Use noise-canceling headphones: Use noise-canceling headphones to help block out any distracting noises.

Working from libary/coffee shop, otherwise I just cant focus…

Setting up boundaries with your loved one, and asking for time for focussed work. Also brain.fm has been working great to keep me focussed lately.

Private room and music

It's really hard to avoid distractions especially if you have 2 cats and dogs at home :) However, mostly metal music handle the things on my side! :)

Very difficult and something I have been working on improving recently as well. Here is what I found has worked well: 1. Focus mode on devices during work hours. 2. For spouses, partners, or pets, either make it clear you are working and give them something else to do or ask them to work with you during those hours. 3. Hide remotes, games, and tools. 4. Have calendar reminders set on your phone and dedicate that time to working on a particular subject. 5. Make tasks small enough that you can accomplish them in a reasonable amount of time.

I always have headphones on and listen to soothing noises or music that helps me to focus and concentrate.

I like it!

1. Going out. 2. Use headphones. 3. Talk with family to set expectations. But... The biggest gamechanger is: choose one place for one form of activity. Do not play games and do productive stuff at the same desk - as you are doomed to fail in the latter!
