Treat it like a real office
This is your place of work, even if it is a home office or a shared space. As much as possible, treat it so.
People are having real success by tricking their brains into thinking their office is for serious work. Calibrate your workspace to serve you best:
- Only do work here. If you can, don't play games or browse the internet. No Netflix.
- Physically leave the room to take a break or do another type of activity.
- Leave it vacant when you're not working.
