How can you make your home office more efficient?

It’s not easy, but making your home office less distraction-friendly is vital to your efficiency.  If you are blessed enough to have an environment that does not include frequent distractions, then you may not need to consider this, but if you are like me you probably do have to work in a stressful work zone.

The first step to creating a distraction-free zone is finding out what distracts you.  For me it’s my kids.  I’ve had to schedule out time when they can have my full attention and time when they cannot have my full attention.  I’ve also made preparation for those times well ahead of time.  They’ve got snacks, juice boxes, games and books laid out that entice them to stay in one area and lay low. 

I’ve also talked with them and stressed the importance of the office being a quiet place during my essential working hours.

You must do the same.  Assess your work schedule.  Assess your distractions and create a plan to deal with them as effectively as possible.
