What are your tips to work from home and not be distracted?

I have been working from home for many years now! My small green division seem to be doing the best. Just started spring season with bundle sale!

I've been teleworking for 10 years.
Give it a few days and wake up late.
Don't feel stressed, it's new for many people.
Don't feel you have to prove you are working. Relax and settle in.
Have a few areas where you can set up for comfort at different times.
Listen to talk radio No TV.
Get coffee and drinks.
Eat light multiple times. Keeps me moving and helps me watch what I eat.
Still Wash You Hands.

@sueinmn Such a great idea, Sue! Thanks for posting this in another discussion.

Taking a short break and walking outside gives you a refresh mind when returning back to work station, even if only for 10 minutes. I feel more focus when continuing with work tasks.

@tigre101010 Claudina, what great advice. When I was chained to the office desk, I made it a practice to go for walks two or three times a day. That offered the mind a break as well as stretching the muscles. It also reduced my trips to the chiropractor.

I am new working from home and I made it a point yesterday to do that. I felt more focus when returning to work station. it was misty and cold but I feel is good for mind and body. Stay safe!

That is really difficult that you are working from home and not getting distracted by anything. In that case first of close the door and try to complete the job, otherwise you can continue with job by taking small break in between you job.

I still have partial wfh and what I do to keep myself from getting distracted is close the door of my study room (where I set my mini office) and listen to focus music. And also sometimes give myself particular deadlines to follow up.
