Im having the same challenges. In my case working from home not by choice, and will likely continue to be remote for a few more months.
Its not too bad when the kids are at school, but my biggest challenge is to convince my wife that 'I'm working'
I keep telling her 'No, I cannot watch the baby or run errands' because I need to focus on what I'm doing. She tells me she understands ,but after a few days it starts again.
I've done Coffee shops and libraries and I like working in that setting, my two main concerns are
- Meeting/Phone calls ( I dont want to disturb others)
- Physical Security ( too much of a hassle to take my laptop with me to the bathroom, and no proper anchor point)
If I don't have any more meetings for the day, I will just go and work from the Library/Coffee shop.
I've seen other guys working from coffee shops, that somehow take phone calls and attend meetings ,and I can barely hear them. If I ever master that skill "speaking quietly, yet clearly without actually whispering" it would make a big difference in my life.

If I ever master that skill "speaking quietly, yet clearly without actually whispering" it would make a big difference in my life. First step is to get a good mic.

- benzesandbetter 8y ago> Its not too bad when the kids are at school, but my biggest challenge is to convince my wife that 'I'm working' If your wife is not respecting your needs around your home workspace, I'd recommend to either start working from a coworking space or rented office, or get an au pair to help with the tasks she's asking you about so that you can work without interruptions. Thankfully, mine is Russian and treats my work and my role as a provider as sacred, so I get zero friction from her about the time and space I need to do my work.

- K9DRDOh 8y agoyou are imaging bigotry where there is none in the above comment. it would equally apply if the wife was the sole bread winner,
