It’s always important to get some exercise during the day. It’s real easy to stay in front of the computer all day, whether I’m training, surfing or doing some type of research, I just have to get away for 15 or 30 minutes and take a break. Today, with online applications, video, cloud computing, etc. I can do sales training all day long and learn all the “stuff” but the real work from home is when I talk to prospects. Sometimes I just need to put it all aside, take 15 minutes to get my heart pounding a little faster and then hit the phones and sell something.

Just work on a schedule that suits you and be consistent about what’s work time.

I have the problem with bed being next to my work desk. Even now I work from my bed.

Close you email and IM apps (or hide them and turn of any kind of notification). Make it a routine to check your messages and reply to them all at once at certain times. Make it a part of your schedule. Keeping email and IM apps open all the time steals a lot of energy and focus.

For self-disciplined people, I think that keeping a schedule is counter-productive.
Working whenever you want is a big advantage of working from home, you just need to actually get the work done.
Getting the work done in ONE day (working 24hours straight) or 4 days (working 6hours/day for 4days) depends just on what deadline are you on. So, you should let the deadlines and your motivation decide when/where/how much to work.

Worked from home for 12 years, and totally disagree about keeping a regular schedule. Schedule flexibility is one of the biggest perqs of working at home. If you need the discipline that a regular schedule provides, then by all means feel free, but for those with some discipline it’s unnecessary structure. If anything, my problem at home was working too much, not slacking off. (Actually, all of your advice here seems to be anti-slacking, so maybe I’m just not the audience for this post.)
