When you are working online at home the problem is so many destructions. That's what I hate about it that makes me want to coffee shop and work there, at least I can focus, but at home there are so many errands to do. Do you also experience it when you are now focus doing your work people keep coming to your room keeps talking to you or ask you to do some errands? it happens to me most of the time. Anyway that's family I am already blessed to have them. So what I do is sometime I work late at night or just simply go to the nearest coffee shop. What do you do when there are destructions at home?

Since it is only my husband at home, I don't have a problem with distractions at home. My kids are grown and gone.

I work from home but my job has set hours and requires me to be at my desk, available to take calls. If I happen to be between calls or taking a break, I don't mind being distracted. If I'm actually on a designated break, that's when I can do any chores at home. I don't have enough time to go anywhere else. I'd love to work from elsewhere. When I freelanced, I would work from a library, but I now have to work at home or in a designated office. When I'm doing other work at home, I can be much more easily distracted. I was trying to get an article finished the other day. I spent about an hour actually doing some work but then another four hours with the laptop on while I went off on various tangents instead of remaining focuses on my work. I live with three other adults, who all understand not to distract me unnecessarily. I usually distract myself or I acquire a random piece of information that leads me to discover more useless information but doesn't add anything to whatever I should have been doing.

I just tell them they have to wait.

You have to let them know not to bother you while working from home. You have to let them understand. And maybe you can set time to tell them that during those hours, you are working

The trouble with working at home is that people think you aren't doing anything much. My friend works at home. She needs quiet and peace because phone work is stressful. She does very well at it but it is exhausting and at times it seems hopeless. She makes more in a day than some people do in a week. I write online and it does not pay that well. People think I am just wasting time even though I have won short fiction contests and sold personal experience articles online and in print magazines.

My husband is the only other person in my house and he never brothers me.
