3. SARA: My number one focus tool for working from home is my iphone timer. I set it to 15 minutes increments for quick jobs. 15 minutes to write a blog post, 15 minutes for each social media platform, 15 minutes for a comment palooza, 15 minutes for an exercise break, and 15 minutes to spend time loving on my boys. Yup, that little timer helps me big time.

4. BETH HEWITT: Use time spent doing school runs, housework & shopping trips, listening to audios & podcasts. You’ll learn a ton of stuff on the go.

5. LEAH: I'm not a mom, but I also struggle with time management all the time especially since I work from home and there are so many things to distract me. I do 3 things to help me work. One, I make a list of what I need to do. I use sticky notes on my computer since my work is online. Two, I divide my day into several chunks: morning-non work stuff, early afternoon-work, late afternoon-work out, late evening-work. And the third thing I do, I keep a freelance journal which basically means I list down everything I do for the day. It helps me track what I spend most of my time on so I can adjust and be more productive

7. KRISTINE E. : My best tip is to take the first 30 or so minutes of your day, over your morning coffee or whatnot, to plan your day and give yourself a sense of schedule. Make up a timeline, determine priorities, and prepare yourself mentally for the day to gain clarity. Once you have done that, get to work crossing items off your list!

8. AMANDA LYN: My time management tip is to remember to breathe. Even though you are working from the comfort of your home, you still need to remind yourself to take a break and enjoy your life. Don't get swamped down with too much work or take on more eggs than you can handle. Time off is a great way to refresh your mind so you can attack your work with fresh eyes.

9. ALICIA KEEN: Get up early and do business things before the typical "day chores" begin. Or, if you follow business hours, flip that and get up early to do house chores!

10. DARLENE: I like routine. And so do kids. I try to create daily, weekly and monthly routines for work and home. I know that at certain times I need to accomplish a specific task. I don't have to waste time trying to figure out what I should do now or when I can squeeze that item in. Once I have the routine, it just becomes part of what needs to get done like brushing my teeth. Routines are time savers but they also reduce mental stress and brain overload.
