> Have a dedicated home office (or at least a workspace) that is for work only. When you're in this space, treat family and/or roommates as you would if they showed up unannounced at your office. Be polite, but let them know you're working. It's crazy how hard it is for people to realize that just because you work from home doesn't mean you are always available. I don't know how many time I've had a family member knock on the door 2 minutes before I have a meeting or get a call from my wife just to chat about her day... there's got to be some major misunderstanding in the general public about what working from home means. It feels like people think it means there's no structure at all.
