My dear readers, working from home is freedom with responsibility. This can be both wonderful but at the same time also sometimes frustrating as it is easy to lose focus with a lot of distractions. I´m going to give you 5 tips on how you can find and maintain your focus when working at home. It helped me so much. I started working from home in order to combine it with my studies and raising my little son as a single mom. Trust me, is not going to be easy, requires self-discipline and perseverance. But it is most than possible. I work two jobs, plus writing on Medium and also my studies in social pedagogy. Not to mention being a mom is full-time, all the time. The reward is beyond my imagination. I do sleep less, but I´m happy doing the things I love. Here comes the list.

1. Relaxation by doing something you love

Just as work at home requires discipline and focus, you also sometimes need to take much-needed breaks from work. A stimulating hobby can help one unwind from hectic work tasks and strict deadlines. It can be playing an instrument, writing on Medium (big smile), or maybe even playing computer games.

2. Important with a work schedule
