If I may add a tip, you also need to avoid social media and other gadgets that could cause distraction. They are not worth to keep them at your side while you are focusing on a project. You can also use a monitoring software (like Time Doctor) to track your time and productivity, it has been proven to be effective when you have multiple tasks waiting to be done. So sit back and relax, after all work from home is still the most productive workplace I’ve ever thought.
