Summary:
Working at home can be either less or more productive than going to an office- depending on how you handle the noise and distraction of home. There are several things that anyone can do to lessen the noise level and get enough peace to be productive.

Details or Sample:
For people who work at home, those pesky people who live in your house can be a major distraction. Here´s how to deal with the noise and still get work done.

1. Music. If you can find some music that will allow you to block out the more random noise in the background, use it. Music that you have to concentrate on or feel you have to sing along to will not cut it. You need to find something that will be soothing enough to allow concentration, while not being interesting enough to actually listen to. Think Kenny G or some New Age guitar music.

2. Activities. Give the people in your house something to do. A spouse can be mopping the floor to keep quiet for awhile. Kids can Swiffer the floor, color or take pictures of things around the house with your digital camera. Whatever the age, even for adults, there are sure to be activities that will keep them quiet. The key is not to let on about what your end result is. Instead of, "Why don´t you rake leaves and be quiet?," try, "You know what we really need done? The leaves need to be raked. You are so good at it and it shows off your bulging biceps so well, I´ll bet you could do the whole yard in less than an hour." Of course, use whatever flattery will work for your particular noise maker.

3. Alone time. If you ever find yourself alone in the house, immediately use that time to get some work done.
