Working at home has become the new normal for millions of workers across the globe.

But while it can be convenient for things like childcare and laundry, it can be difficult to stay on task.

According to Business Insider, newly-minted telecommuters should start the day off right by making the bed.

Try to recreate your office environment at home by working at a desk, not the couch. Give yourself an "office mug," and keep supplies handy.

Take breaks, but link them to accomplishments. For example, have your coffee break after you hit 'send' on an important email, not before.

Put your phone on mute except during breaks and after hours, and keep in close contact with your managers and associates.

Finally, get some fresh air and sunlight!
