I struggle with this as well. The one thing I’ve found working for me recently is using the task list in Outlook. I do a “brain dump” first thing in the morning of all the things I need to accomplish. Then I put them in order of least effort to most effort. I use my phone to set a timer for 30-45 minutes and work till my timer goes off. Then I take a quick break to check emails, chats, grab coffee, etc. before starting my timer all over again. The timer helps me remember to actually get up from my computer and breathe, the task list keeps me focused and when I end my day I’m able to see all the things I checked off my task list - it makes me feel super accomplished. Hope this helps!

I have found that keeping my office dark, except for a desk lamp, keeps me from being distracted by other things that might be going on at home.
What is your productivity system like? Todo list, calendar system, etc
I WFH too and experience this. I try to outside and walk around a bit. If possible I try to be barefoot so I can feel texture of cement and grass. This gives me something else to focus on besides the computer waiting for me and the “I should be” thoughts. Just 5-10 minutes is usually enough to be like a brain restart.
