- Get ready for work in the morning as you would an office job. That means showering, brushing your teeth and getting dressed. We also suggest making your bed, in order to fight the urge to crawl back in.
- Tell your friends and family (and neighbors!) that, yes, you really are working when you say you're working from home. That'll minimize disruptions.
- Take lunch breaks -- or walking/running/stationary bike breaks, as I like to do too, to change focus sometimes. Just don't overdo it.
- Keep in touch with co-workers, if you're telecommuting, to remind them that, "Hey, I'm still a member of this office team."
Working from home takes discipline, but if you approach it and structure your days like an regular "office" job, you'll better your productivity and really feel like you've accomplished something by the end of the day.
