Working from home is convenient but comes with challenges. It’s hard to stay motivated and productive outside of an office. 
Household chores, family, and the urge to relax can distract you.
There’s also the issue of no routine. This can mix up work and personal time. Without seeing colleagues, some feel isolated or disconnected from their team.
How do you stay focused while working from home? What keeps you motivated and on a good work schedule?
First and foremost you need to get rid of distractions that you usually enjoy like TV, YouTube, social media, etc. By getting rid I mean to minimize time spent on them.
Secondly, setting up your special workspace could help a lot. It should be a place where you would feel comfortable and efficient, otherwise, you might spend time working on your laptop somewhere on a couch. You should clean the place and take care of your workspace.
Another helpful effort is to establish your work routine. Pick the right time when you think you can be highly effective, be it in the morning or afternoon. This should be a consistent routine that helps you transition to “work mode”. Do your best to stick to this schedule to maintain your work-life balance.
You’re right. However, it can help to focus on the positives of remote work and the downsides of being in an office. For example, in an office, coworkers can also be distracting if they’re talking loudly, or conflicts can happen, which can affect your work.
So, if you’re feeling unmotivated, try to remember the negatives of office life. S
