Interpretation from kids can affect your productivity and work schedules.

You will be confused by the sound running here and there and wanting to know what you are doing.

With their constant disruption, you may find it challenging to get the stuff done. Isn’t it?

All the above questions and made me think and made me frustrated.

Finally, I got all my confidence from the entrepreneur’s handbook.co blog post, which explains about productive work from home.

It says about four simple tips to work with kids, which made my life organized and simplified.

1. Separate deep work from shallow work

What is a Deep Work?

Deep work requires focus and no interruptions. The goals in deep work are your own, not the goals of others.

These efforts create new value, improve your skill, and are hard to replicate.

When the kids sleep or involve in any activities at the best time for deep work.

There should be someplace to work and work to interact with your family for work from home parents.

It’s beneficial to segment your day and your locations into deep work and shallow work. This may help in extreme productivity.

What is Shallow Work?

Shallow work tends not to create much new value in the world and is easy to replicate. Parenting is shallow work, as you can expect to be interrupted.

You can stay open to others’ goals and spend more of your time responding.

Suppose if you are working from your kitchen table and it’s the same place where your kids are playing, you will be interrupted.

It’s perfect for doing shallow work during this time. Checking emails, surfing social media, paying bills, and so on. But for some deep work, you must separate yourself.

As a parent who is extremely productive while works from home, where you also interact with your family, It may be difficult to divide your day and your locations into deep work and shallow work.

2. Create Boundaries and Create Respect

Consistent protection of your boundaries will train others in your family to respect them.

So always keep your mind straight and keep strong boundaries between your work and life.

Turn a spare room into your new office or set up a designated place where you get your work done.

Consistent protection of your boundaries will train others in your family to respect them. Still, if you are inconsistent or unclear, others will eventually ask for more than you can give.

Always keep your mind straight and maintain healthy boundaries between work and life. Turn a spare room into your new office or set up a designated place where you get your job done.

3.Train your Mind and Body

The key to successful isolated work is to attempt and not disrupt your habits.

It was challenging for me to tune myself into a saturated mind and brain to get the work mode.

It’s essential to set your mind, body, and brain to get your work done; it’s crucial to shower, dress, and get ready.

You don’t have to sit at home in full makeup, but your brain needs to know that you are out of sleeping and in full productivity mode.

4.Plan Working Days and your Space

If you are used to working from 9 am to 5 pm, don’t stop. Use your inner clock and follow your habits and rituals as usual.

Having a great morning routine can influence your productivity tremendously.

All we need is to alternate periods of deep work and shallow work. We can focus when it is time for deep.

We can be available to interrupt when it is time to be superficial.

When you are likely to be interrupt, stay available.

If you do get some focused time during your shallow work periods, you can achieve that wonderful inbox zero feelings.

Don’t try to do deep work when interruption happens, or you will get frustration. You can only do your best work when you are focus.
