Agreed. I don't freelance, but I work remotely a few days a week, generally from home. Where my wife homeschools our sons. We have ground rules, though, that help both of us manage: 1. I walk to the cafe from 9:00-12:00-ish while she does the bulk of the work with the kids. The local cafe is quiet, so it's not a problem for me to work there, and get a lot done in that time. 2. If I can't be distracted once I'm back home, I simply close the door to our office. 3. If my wife is working with the kids, I stay out of that area of the house. 4. On days that I spend some time with the kids, it's understood that I'll need to "make up" that time in the evening after the kids are asleep.
