4. Get up early

Do you have to wake up at 5:30 am to get to work on time? Or sometimes you could hit that snooze button quite many times before dragging yourself out of bed?! When working from home without having to spend time commuting to work, you tend to feel more comfortable when you think that you could sleep as late as you want or as late as the kids want, but it's not.

Make sure to set your alarm for an appropriate time to wake up and get ready for your workday. While it doesn't need to be as early as it used to be, starting work at 8:00 am to 10:00 am can make you believe that you are more motivated because you have done more at lunch than before with jobs after that. This also allows you to end the working day earlier.
