The first step to mitigating distractions when working from home is to accept that you become distracted because humans are distractible. It is part of your nature. And that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n

Take, for instance, someone who keeps oversleeping because they hit the snooze button on their alarm nine times before finally getting up. Seasoned oversleepers know that one way to overcome this is to keep the alarm clock several feet from the bed \u2014 requiring the would-be oversleeper to get out of bed and walk across the room to hit the snooze button each time the alarm goes off. At a certain point, it becomes more restful to just stay awake.<\/p>\n

You can do the same thing with distractions \u2014 by setting yourself up to be distracted from<\/em> your distractions when you inevitably succumb to them (if not beforehand).<\/p>\n
