Having a dedicated "office" space in your home helps a lot with that environment separation. If you have kids, that space needs to have a door that can close, too.
Don't work in your pajamas on the couch, that's the worst thing ever for your mental health.
Yes, I can attest that WFH was a hell of a lot easier when I didn’t have kids. It was 100 times harder with them around. Unfortunately while I carved out a space in my house for WFH, it didn’t prevent my kids from interfering with work tasks lol. It may be a little different now that they are both in school for the day.
That's an education issue. The kids need to learn that mom/dad is working and to avoid disturbing them. I've WFH for almost 10 years now, and I've had homeschooled kids at home the whole time. Yes, they had to learn to leave me alone at first, but it only took a few months.
