I am on my first month working from home. While I am not a huge fan of it, either I work from home, or I lose my job.

My biggest gripes about telecommuting is that I have a hard drive focusing. Something about the process of getting up and getting ready and LEAVING the house, puts my brain into this mode of "time to work!" While telecommuting I can get up and get ready, but there's nothing there that convinces my brain I'm going to work.

Set aside a different room. Go for a walk around the block first. Lots of ways to split up your day prework vs postwork.
Yeah I'm still setting up my second room as an office. Right now I'm sitting on my couch with laptop on lap. Not very helpful.

Along with that, I'm also changing my diet and even starting to go to the gym since it's right across the street.

Hopefully these things help.

I'd recommend, get up and go to the gym before work. As others mentioned, having that daily routine where you transition to work mode is really helpful.
That's the goal. Thank you for solidifying that goal as being the right steps. Appreciate it.
