I'm really (really) fortunate to have a job where I work from home. Aside from having no commute and never having to set an alarm clock (since the kid wakes up at 6am daily), working from home is a luxury that can't be overlooked. However, many people have asked me how I'm able to be productive throughout the day without being distracted by my environment and my answer is that it's much easier than what people think. It's a matter of knowing yourself, scheduling accordingly, and creating a routine that will drive you to be productive.
