# Get started early: when commuting to office we tend to wake up early and kick start our day, but while working from home the journey to our computers become more lazy and disturbing.

Trust us, doing this will get you through your project as well as your day and will bring that morning motivation that is required.
#Create a schedule: by creating a schedule people can easily manage their time of working. Creating an online schedule will help you in maintaining your focus, thus letting you decide what work will be done during the course of the day at what time. For working moms, with young kids it would be good to complete their most of the work during their kids nap time.
# Pretend that you’re going to office: this will help in maintaining the mental association that one has with their offices also making them effective and more productive. Do all the chores that you would do while preparing yourself for office.
# Create your own work space: by dedicating a room which can be converted into your office cabin is a much more effective way of working than being on a couch and working. Create a work surface in your home where you can keep all your work related files, computer, reference material and supplies.
# Avoid home distractions: well doing this part is a little bit tough but not impossible. Keep readily available snacks for consumption near you. Tell your family members not to disturb you. For young kids at home plan their activities for the day in advance.
#Set office hours: this will help in communicating others about your work -time and playing-time. Make time slots for each activity thus making work from home a comfortable way for yourself and others.
#Don’t forget to take small breaks between your work so that you can re-channelize all your energy and can maintain your physical as well as mental focus.
