How do I stay productive when working from home?

The biggest challenge with working from home is separating work mode from home mode. Set a consistent start time and get dressed as if you're going somewhere, since this signals to your brain that work has begun. Designate a specific workspace and only work there, even if it's just a corner of a room. Use time blocking to schedule focused work sessions and protect them from household distractions. The Pomodoro technique, working in 25-minute focused bursts with short breaks, helps maintain concentration. Communicate your schedule to anyone you share space with. End your day at a set time and physically close your workspace to create a clear boundary, preventing work from bleeding into your personal time.
