Scientifically : Your will power to stay focused is simply not enough (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHfjvYzr-3g).

I'm a student working for different tech companies remotely. From my year long experience, all I can tell you is you need to have a routine with :

a) Not more than 50min work at a stretch (even a 10 minute break will do) b) Limited working hours (you set the limit) c) Workout (running, working out, dancing | something that works out your muscles) d) Social life (with your partner, friends, meetups etc)

Make short todo lists. Get your work done early in the morning(before your family gets up) and keep noon time for meetings and extra work that does not require focus. Evenings are great for working out.

Best of LUCK :)
