  • Hey, it's Marie Forleo and you are watching MarieTV, the place to be if you want to create a business

  • and life you love, and this is Q&A Tuesday. Today's question comes from Elena and she

  • writes:

  • "Hi, Marie. So many of us work from home whether we're studying or running a business. Do you

  • have any tips how to keep other house members from causing distractions?"

  • Great question, Elena, but you know, I don't really have distractions when I'm working,

  • either that or I just don't notice them. But seriously, here are six simple things you

  • can do to stop interruptions when you work from home.

  • #1 -- Issue a rude alert.

  • Let people know your work schedule and tell them you're going to be unresponsive if they

  • try to interrupt you during those hours. You can say something like "Look, I'm going to

  • work for the next three hours, if you try and interrupt me, I'm going to be rude but

  • I still love you."

  • #2 -- Close the door.

  • Sounds obvious, but an open door can be a signal for others to come in and sit a spell,

  • so make sure when you're working, you close the door. For bonus points, you can hang one

  • of these bad boys up.

  • #3 -- Don't send mixed signals.

  • You can't be all "I'm working, don't disturb me," and then two seconds later go "Oh my

  • God, you have to see this video of a dancing Chihuahua right now."

  • #4 -- Wear headphones.

  • You can get the expensive noise blocking ones; Josh uses those to block me out all the time,

  • or you can just simply get headphones like ear buds or even something over the ear, which

  • really signifies to people "don't disturb me."

  • #5 -- Have a "nunya" clause.

  • Here's the scene: your significant other totally respects your request and they're careful

  • not to disturb you, but when they walk by, they catch you watching a Bieber video and

  • pinning pictures of throw pillows on Pinterest; that's when you invoke the "nunya" clause.

  • "Hey, if I goof off, it's nunya business." Remember, your sacred work time is about honoring

  • your flow. You're allowed to take Bieber breaks as often as you need them. You know what?

  • Let's make that a tweetable:

  • "Bieber breaks are good for business."

  • #6 -- Get outta Dodge!

  • Or at least get out of the living room. When you work from home and you live with other

  • people, sometimes it's just not right to expect them to be quiet. It's kind of like going

  • to a slumber party and then deciding to go to bed at 8 o'clock and then getting mad at

  • everyone because they're still up. Don't be the wicked witch of the living room; just

  • pack up your gear and cart yourself over to the nearest library or coffee shop.

  • So there you go, Elena; six ways to stop interruptions when you work from home. Now I would love

  • to hear from you. Do people try to interrupt you when you're working from home? If so,

  • how do you deal with it?

  • As always, the best discussions happen after the episode over at MarieForleo.com, so go

  • there and leave a comment right now.
