How to stay focused while working from home

Home environments blur boundaries. Focus improves when boundaries are visible and repeatable.

Practical solution

1) Set a start ritual

Same time, same desk, same first task daily.

2) Time-block communication

Check email and chat at fixed windows instead of constantly.

3) Create visual boundaries

Use a dedicated workspace and a visible "focus now" cue.

FAQ

Why am I less productive at home?
