From piles of dirty laundry to day time TV, there are tons of distractions.<\/p><p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-4\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">And sometimes, pajamas and a comfortable seat on the sofa just don\u2019t provide the same type of motivation you get from a suit and an office chair.<\/p><p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-6\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">Whether you\u2019re home alone and the house is too quiet, or you\u2019re home with the family and the kids are out of control, you may find it\u2019s tough to stay on task, get your work done, and feel productive. Fortunately, the following strategies can help you stay motivated when you work from home.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9850f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c9850f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">1.

You might find that you start shifting your workdays later and later as you sip an extra cup of coffee. Then, your work hours extend later into the evenings, which causes you to stay up later at night as well.<\/p><p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-11\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">Or you might find that you easily get off track or distracted while working.

Most sleep experts recommend reserving your bed for sleep and sexual activity.<\/p><p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-20\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">So even though your bed might feel like a comfortable spot, create a workspace somewhere else.

You can stay motivated by limiting the distractions and interruptions you experience.<\/p><p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-32\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">This may mean muting your phone notifications and only checking your email once an hour.

Whether you know it\u2019s going to be boring, frustrating, or just really challenging, convincing yourself to get started is tough.<\/p><p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-41\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">One of the best ways to get moving on something you don\u2019t want to do is by using the \u201c10-minute rule.\u201d Tell yourself that you only have to work on something for 10 minutes. Then, after the 10-minute mark, you can take a break if you want.<\/p><p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-43\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">More times than not, you\u2019ll likely find that at the 10-minute mark you\u2019ll choose to keep going. Usually, getting started is the toughest part. But once you do, it\u2019s easy to keep the momentum going.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90fe99c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"90fe99c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">6.
