It doesn’t matter how good you feel in your unicorn onesie, swapping leisurewear for a client-facing outfit can help you keep you focused on work. If you are used to the noise of people around you, you might find that playing music or turning on the radio helps you get down to business quicker. Or try a service like Coffitivity, which plays the ambient sounds of a range of social spaces – from a Parisian patisserie to a Brazilian coffeehouse.
But, remember to stick to a routine
Yes you don't need to leave the house at a certain time to catch that train, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep an eye on the time while working from home. Getting into a routine can help you keep focused, so plan to sit down at your desk at the same time each morning, take a regular lunch break and allocate blocks of time to particular projects. You could even try out a time management method like the Pomodoro Technique, where you break your workday into 25-minutes segments, punctuated by short (five minute) and longer (20 minute) breaks.
