Thanks for these great tips. Balancing work and home responsibilities in the same environment can be challenging but also very rewarding. Our son has worked from home for many years. He told me that one thing that helped him to be productive at home was to leave the house for a 10 minute walk prior to his work "start time", return home, and then to work for the day and take appropriate breaks. At the end of his work day, he would leave his house for another 10 minute walk to signal that his day at work was over. The rest of the day/evening he no longer felt compelled to work.
