Becoming familiar with a new schedule can be difficult. It can be so tempting to sleep in, watch T.V., play games, or even become distracted by all the household chores that need to be finished. These are all distractions, and there are plenty more, that either need to be avoided or need to be put aside during your scheduled work time.
Sticking to a schedule will help you stay in a routine, and thus you will get more work done. I know it's difficult to put off distractions while you are working at home, but if you can it will make working at home a lot less difficult.
Lastly, if you find you can't put off your distraction, don't put it off. Do what you need to do, but don't try to make up the work time lost later in the day. Just accept the fact that that time will be lost. If you find that you have lost a significant number of hours of work throughout the week, you can set yourself a couple of hours to work on Saturday or Sunday, but try not to work too much on the weekend. It is the weekend after all!
