Take 30 minutes to watch Nick Jr with your two year old, and let yourself be distracted enough that your family knows you're around. Sometimes I get so focused on what I'm doing that everything else fades away. At the end of those days I'm sad for the moments missed with my kids.

When I first started working from home, I was inspired to get my work done early so that I could go outside and enjoy the brief Vancouver summer. And I did just that! I started a habit of getting up at the break of dawn and completing all my work before 10am. Good habit. Sometimes when I come home in the evening I feel energized with fresh ideas so I have another productive session. Not every day, but this way of scheduling my time works the best for me. :) Good point about having a routine.

When I first started working from home, I started working as soon as I woke up. What a big mistake. It's hard to get in the right frame of mind. I found getting up, getting a shower, getting dressed in decent clothes and eating a breakfast made in the right mood to accomplish things. #6 I kind of agree with it, but my chair is a bit uncomfortable and I keep it like that. It forces me to get up and walk around and take a break every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. A good break helps me focus. #1 is so important.
