Plan ahead of time
Going into a workday blindly is definitely not the best approach, even if you’re working from home. “Be clear about what you want to achieve, both in the long-term and on a daily basis,” Evans says. Consider making a to-do list, prioritized by urgency, and this way, you’ll manage to do every little task from the list without forgetting anything.
Look for support
Learning how to work properly from home and be more productive is a task for your family and friends, too. “Let them know what your work hours are when you can be disturbed, and when you’re not available,” Evans says.
And when they’re really not getting the hint and they’re keeping you distracted, leave a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door and focus on your tasks.
