For the most part, I’ve been in a pretty similar situation for a while. Working from home, my hours tend to apply around the family and I end up working until the early hours to catch up. I have yet to completely separate time with the family and working as they’re in close proximity without me having a designated office within the home. We are currently looking into a larger house which would accommodate an office and I believe that would make a major improvement in concentration.

Being in the right frame of mind plays the biggest part for me. I have only recently started getting up at a set hour and starting work as I would in regular employment. Moving on from this, I plan to have set hours to work within and time planned for family and other things. It’s keeping the schedule that’s difficult and I look forward to reading about how you get on with the changes.

I’m just sorry I can’t give you any practical tips!
