Here are aspects that you should keep in mind to manage your time to its fullest.

Time Management Tip - Stop Multitasking: Multitasking is a very good ability that we have, but only in some situations. sometimes, having the ability to multi task comes across as your bane while getting some work done. How distracting can be that email you are checking while you are trying to decipher a code?, or how difficult is getting a fresh idea for a business plan when you are avidly watching that video?

Time Management Tip - Stop Social Networking: Social networking is the backbone of several businesses today. In fact, it is quite important for the freelancer, as the freelancer will not simply disappear if they are not in contact with their peers and colleagues. however, there is a time and place to social network and a time and place to work, make sure that you do not mix the two, or you will end up having the worst of both worlds. 

Time Management Tip - Take Some Time Off: Come to think of it, why are you getting distracted? Simply because you either you are not interested in the job that you are doing, or that you have spent too much time doing the work that you are doing. Working from home does not mean that you will slave over the PC for days on end. Everyone requires a break, and so do you. Once you take the break, you will find out that you are actually working better than you were previously.

Time Management Tip - Decide your work timing: Working from home does not mean that you are working fulltime. Working from home just means that you are not going to the office any longer Therefore, consider that your home is your office and lay out a timeframe to getting your work done. With this, you have a timeset for yourself, and you might begin to actually get more work done in that time.
