Working from home is not always easy. Many people already work from home due to the nature of their jobs but millions of others are finding themselves still working from home due to the pandemic. It can be very hard to be productive and stay motivated when working from home as there are often a lot more distractions. It can be very easy to get enticed into doing housework, spending time in the garden or having a friend round for a coffee. Although it is good to take a break sometimes, you do need to ensure that you have set times for working and for breaks. People that are most productive set themselves working hours and schedule in breaks and lunch. If you need time to do other things in the home such as housework then you should either set aside one morning or one whole day when you don’t do work or try and do it in the evenings and weekends.
Lots of people need quiet when working, so it is advisable to find somewhere in the home that you can work without interruptions. If there are other people in the house, then explain to them when you need to be left to work.
