Create a Special Place for Work
Whether it is a spare room or a corner of your room, shelve off and speck up an area where you will use for work. If possible, avoid using the bed but get a desk and chair purposely for work.
Plan Ahead
It is important to plan your work schedule and layout all work-related activities for the day or week. Note down and attend all-important virtual work meetings and take down notes on what you must attend to later.

Set Limits for Yourself

Set daily targets to meet by certain times before you can take a break.
