Personally I go work somewhere else, University or a coffee shop, preferably far from home so I can't be home again in 15 minutes. If needed you can also use a blocker in smartphone and laptop. At home with my desktop computer I just can't get focused, I end up on youtube, twitter, etc... in a public setting you have peer pressure not to start watching memes or whatever, plus you get the benefit of the "ritual" or "context switch" of commuting and working in a different space. I'm far from productive or a master at focus though and I'm still learning and working on it, but this works when I just can't seem to concentrate for 5min at home.
