Getting distracted has been a big problem for me thus far. I feel like the lack of social pressure from co-workers has been scrolling on my phone more often.

- gshdg 7y agoHaving your phone in the same room as you is known to be distracting. Try tucking it in a drawer in the kitchen or somewhere else that you won’t be tempted to look at it until it’s time for an official break.
- muzani 7y agoI'd recommend the book Maximum Willpower, by Dr Kelly McGonigal. It busts a few myths that are also prevalent from many other motivational books by non-psychologists. WFH is really where many of those start to fall apart. Like stress is actually destructive to willpower, one triggers your physiology to fight, the other gets it to be calm and in control. Simple techniques to train willpower. How to manipulate your fight-or-flight response into self-control (similar to how we balk at prices but shopaholics don't). How pressuring, rewarding, and guilting yourself makes things worse. It's easy to fall into these traps from home, and then go down a spiral of bad advice which makes things worse.
