If your home is bustling and you’re trying to work, you might benefit from some organisational techniques to gain focus and clear the clutter of distractions. First, identify your priorities each day (one or two, not 15) and tackle them first. That might be exercising or finishing a project.

Next, find the time of day when your willpower is strongest and use it to tackle any task you’d usually put off. Budgeting, bills, cleaning. Don’t be a slave to emails, messages and social media, check them at set intervals then get back to your to-do list. At night, write a new list for the next day.
