Something that's helped for me, and frankly isn't possible for everyone depending on their living situation, is to keep an "office", in any way you can. The other thing I do is try to, even ever-so slightly, diversify my schedule.

I work from a laptop and desk in my bedroom, and in the evening if I want to do "computery" thing, I move down to my basement where I've a gaming rig set up. There, I can work on side projects, play video games with friends, etc...

The only rule I make is that I can't work on side-projects on my laptop, or work on my main work on my second rig.

In terms of diversifying my schedule, I try to not work on any one thing for more than 2 hours. I force myself to either work on something else, take a coffee break, or literally anything else.
