1 Set a schedule

One of the benefits of working from home is the flexibility to choose your own hours. However, this can also be a trap if you don't have a clear routine and boundaries. To stay on task, you need to set a schedule that works for you and your team. This means having a consistent start and end time, as well as breaks and lunch. It also means communicating your availability and expectations to your colleagues and clients. Having a schedule will help you create a sense of structure, accountability, and focus.

It would be good to set a separate work area within your home, that is distraction free. And a place where you can focus. Don't try to work from the main room or family room, where there are lot of distractions. And importantly, don't take breaks as you please and ensure to maintain discipline with your schedule. Communicate to family members about when they can disturb you and when they should not. It is respectful to everyone's time.

If you just lie in your bed and work then that's unhealthy practice. Get up and follow the ritual that you would normally for going to the office like a small exercise, freshen up and breakfast. Make sure your home office is set up in an area where you don't sit and chill. So it gets you in the frame of mind to complete work tasks. The best thing to do is have your calendar structured as you would if you were in the office with an hour blocked for lunch. That time walk away from you work space and go prep yourself a meal or step out to grab lunch.

To stay productive while working from home, establish a consistent routine, create a dedicated workspace, prioritize tasks, utilize productivity tools, take regular breaks, and stay connected with colleagues.

2 Create a workspace

Another way to stay on task while working from home is to create a dedicated workspace that is comfortable, ergonomic, and free of distractions. This will help you separate your work and personal life, and signal to your brain that it's time to work. Ideally, you should have a desk, a chair, a computer, and any other tools or equipment you need. You should also avoid working from your bed, couch, or kitchen table, as these can affect your posture, concentration, and sleep quality.

Working from your sleep area or your relaxation area will prevent you from being focused at work. Equally, when you finish work you won't be able to switch off if it's your sleeping area or relaxation area which impacts mental health.

3 Prioritize your tasks

When you're working from home, you may have to juggle multiple projects, deadlines, and responsibilities. To stay on task, you need to prioritize your tasks and focus on the most important and urgent ones first. You can use a tool like a to-do list, a calendar, or a project management software to organize your tasks and track your progress. You should also break down large or complex tasks into smaller and manageable steps, and set realistic and specific goals for each day or week.

4 Avoid distractions

One of the biggest challenges of working from home is dealing with distractions. These can come from your phone, your email, your social media, your family, your pets, or your household chores. To stay on task, you need to minimize or eliminate these distractions as much as possible. You can do this by turning off notifications, closing unnecessary tabs or apps, wearing headphones, setting boundaries with your loved ones, and delegating or postponing non-urgent tasks.

5 Take breaks

While it's important to stay on task while working from home, it's also important to take breaks. Working for long periods without rest can lead to fatigue, stress, burnout, and reduced performance. Taking breaks can help you recharge your energy, refresh your mind, and improve your mood and creativity. You can take breaks by doing some physical activity, stretching, meditating, listening to music, reading, or chatting with a friend. You should also take advantage of your lunch break and eat something healthy and satisfying.

We’ve worked from home throughout our kid’s life. Rules like ‘no talking while parents are on calls go much better when there are defined breaks that kids know about ahead of time and can understand. So maybe at ten minutes to every hour, when your watch is telling you to move anyway, it’s recess. Get silly, get a snack, run around. Show little kids the shape of those numbers. They’ll have more patience with the wait if the recess is defined. And recess is good for everyone!

6 Reward yourself

Finally, one of the best ways to stay on task while working from home is to reward yourself for your achievements. Working from home can be isolating and demotivating, especially if you don't get enough feedback or recognition from your team or manager. Rewarding yourself can help you boost your morale, motivation, and self-esteem. You can reward yourself by celebrating your milestones, giving yourself a compliment, treating yourself to something you enjoy, or sharing your success with others.

Working from home is a double edged sword, on one hand no commute, no need to dress up, on the other one your personal life and work life gets mixed up, you might overwork without ever realizing! . Creating a work space in your home is the same as nothing, you are still in your home! If you can afford it (or if your employer can chip in) go to a co-working space as much as possible! Have a physical separation of WORK and LIFE
