How To Stay Productive

Cats Code

Working from home sounds like a great idea. Wake up when you want, set your own hours, and work as much or as little as you want. Unfortunately for some of us, it is a struggle to stay productive when in the comfort of your own home and even more so when you have cats.

The cat’s mission in life is to snuggle. They will find you at your weakest moments and plop themselves smack dab in your lap. If that doesn’t work, they will play and bat at your hands or keyboard to get your attention. Once they have your attention, the purring begins. Eventually you give in and give up all motivation to work.

If you are tired of giving in to your feline overlord there are some things you can do to help stay productive while working from home with a cat.

1. Establish Boundaries

First and foremost, you need to establish boundaries with your cat. This means teaching them that there are certain times when you are not to be disturbed. You can do this by using a command such as "leave it" or "go away" when they approach you while you are working. You can also use a physical barrier, such as a closed door or a baby gate, to keep them out of your workspace.

2. Provide Entertainment

If you want your cat to leave you alone, you need to provide them with something else to do. This means providing them with plenty of toys, food, and water. You can also try interactive games, such as fetch or hide-and-seek, to keep them entertained.

3. Take Breaks

It is important to take breaks throughout the day, even if you are feeling productive. This will help you to avoid burnout and to stay focused. When you take a break, get up and move around, or spend some time playing with your cat. Just don't spend your breaks scrolling through social media or watching TV!

4. Be Patient

Training a cat to respect your boundaries takes time and patience. Don't get discouraged if your cat doesn't get it right away. Just keep at it and eventually they will learn.

5. Reward Good Behavior

When your cat leaves you alone or plays nicely, be sure to reward them with treats, praise, or playtime. This will help them to understand what you want them to do and to repeat the behavior in the future.

Conclusion

Working from home with a cat can be challenging, but it is possible to stay productive. By following these tips, you can help to minimize distractions and to keep your cat happy and entertained.
