That’s life moving about outside your threshold, embrace it a bit. When it’s too much, put on white noise, if that doesn’t work move into noise cancelling headphones. My family bought me a set for Father’s Day 10 years ago or so and I haven’t looked back. Good for phone calls as well.

I wish you all the best in your WFH journey. I have been doing it since 2006, it’s a “what works for you” kind of problem.

This is a bit of a patronizing conment. He’s not confused or scared by the outside world. It’s noisy and he’s looking for tips to reduce distractions.

The original poster should think that it is much less distracting than colleagues engaged in meaningless banter and gossip through the whole day , around your cube when you are in office. Very annoying .
