If you haven't watched this viral video from the BBC just yet, do it now.
This comedy masterpiece is all because Professor Robert Kelly, from National University in South Korea, did an interview with the BBC via Skype from his home.
And at home, it was easy for his children to walk in while he was in the middle of a live, internationally broadcast interview.
Up to 25 percent of working people in America are just like Professor Kelly – they can work from home.
But that means distractions can add up. Children might want to play, pets might want to snuggle or the call of the couch and Netflix is too great.
Take Two finds out what that life is like from telecommuter Catherine Adell.
Lifehacker's Kristin Wong also offers some advice on how to stay productive and professional while at home.
Join a coworking space
Think of it like a gym.
You pay a membership to join, but instead of getting workout equipment, you get access to an office space. That includes desks, conference rooms, meeting spaces and more.
"If you have a really important meeting, it might be worth a little bit more to go do that," says Wong. "They sort of make sure that everything's going to be fine and running smoothly."
And you'll be away from all the distractions of home.
Lots of other places in Southern California are good alternatives
SoCal has a lot of amenities and facilities to help people who work from home get out of the house once in a while.
"I just think there are more remote workers now, right, especially in LA," says Wong. "I see a lot of remote workers at libraries sometimes. Coffeeshops, too, I've noticed, are set up as coworking spaces almost."
If you have to stay at home, set boundaries
This doesn't work so well on small children or pets, but create rules with adults who know how to follow directions. Or signs.
"Set some boundaries with your family and let them know the specific times you need a 'no interruption zone,'" Wong writes on Lifehacker. "I also used to put a 'meeting progress' sign on my front door."
If you're embarrassed on a work call, play it off
Sometimes life happens, and being a human about it and laughing it off can help you move on very quickly.
"Don’t be too hard on yourself—mistakes happen," writes Wong. "If they didn’t, we wouldn’t have this glorious video."
