Mitigation Strategies for 5 Major Home Office Distractions

I'm not sure why it is that when some people think of working from home, they are under the impression it will be peaceful and quiet. If you've ever worked in a corporate office (I have in a past life), it's far from quiet or distraction free.

Working from home is no different, but the distractions are of a different flavor. These distractions can be external or internal in nature. Let's shed some light on five of the most common, and some tips on how to deal with them.

1. Children Under Foot

If you have little children around, it can be especially challenging (although very cute at times!). As a friend of mine said, it's hard to work from home with little children without help. I started my business with a toddler around, so trust me when I say you've got to get creative.

Tip: If you can't bear the thought of waiting one more second to start working on your million dollar idea, have a plan. If you have little ones, work around their schedule by working early in the morning, during nap times or late at night after their bedtime. Also, be realistic about how much time you can spend on your business. If it's not the right time, there's no sense in banging your head against the wall. If now is the time, get some help from a family member, education program, day care or a babysitter, if necessary.

2. Family Interruptions

"Is dinner ready?" "Are we going to the pool?" "Did you take the trash out?" "Did you check the mail?"
