Having a structured schedule helps me.
I often set my alarm for 45 minutes. I accomplish as much as possible during this time, then do something fun for 15, repeat.
Sounds like a reasonable, productive idea.
Get up early enough to take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, etc., all the things you would normally do before arriving to work. This helps put you in the frame of mind to work when you sit at your desk at the appropriate time.
Try to keep your desk/office in an isolated area of the house so you aren’t distracted by other people, the TV, etc. Make that space your “workplace”: don’t do any other work there that isn’t your job. Again, this just mentally puts you in the space that when you’re at your desk, you’re working.
Lastly, don’t go to your “office” on the weekend or holidays. Now you’re off work, so don’t go there unless it’s an emergency.
Best of luck and congratulations on the new job!
This is great advice!
It’s going to sound stupid simple, but I’ve found time boxing helps tremendously. You’d be shocked at how much you can get done and how productive you are with a straight 20-30 minutes of work with no email, IM, text, social media distracting.
Smoke kush during breaks
Let your 2 year old draw on your face during a video conference, it keeps them occupied and entertains your colleagues.
ROFL! Mine would have done that at 2 as well :D
Coffee. No TV. To-do list.
Your boss should be keeping you busy and holding you accountable too.
No tv is a big one for me. Keep somewhat of a schedule. Have a hard stop at a certain time if your work for the day is done
I use the Pomodoro Technique: working for 25 minutes, 5 minute break. Repeat four times, then take a longer break.

Turn off phone alerts if possible.
Don’t watch or listen to the news!
Get up and walk around every hour.
Eat lots of protein and drink coffee :)

Avoid the news! Open the windows for sunshine!
Work when you're most productive. In most cases WFH means flexible hours! This means unless your meeting with people on their convenient schedule, you get to use your most productive, most concentrating, most brilliant times of day to complete your work! Just make sure to track all worked hours throughout the day and create checklists to ensure all tasks get completed. You'll find that you may end up doing more work than you sought out to do!
Get up at normal time. Shower. Coffee. Get started an hour plus earlier due to no commute. Reward myself for a productive morning with an hour run or yoga at noon. Work another few solid hours and give my pups with a walk. Work a few more hours then make supper. Work a few more hours then wind it down. By breaking up the day, the four walls feel a bit less daunting.
Yep, keep a schedule. Set alarm so you get up and move during the day, I go for a 15 min walk after lunch. I have a separate office and when I’m there it’s work. No tv, although I do sometimes play some quiet music to drown out other noise. Routine is the most important thing and you’ll learn what works for you. And exercise! That’s very important. Wishing you much success in your new job!

Set a routine, like Elmo:

Important part of working from home for extended periods of time is establishing norms with your supervisor. What's tasks are to be done, how to prioritize ad hoc requests (if different than in office work), and check-in procedures.
Lot's of supervisors aren't great at this part, and may tend to micromanage, even when they typically don't. Getting on the same page can reduce that tendency.
Also remember to send text/email cues about when you're on a break. In the office they can see you're at lunch. So that should help build trust.
Distraction wise, my killer is always the dogs. Still struggle with it.
Good luck!
