Working in a coffee shop with the blenders and laughing doesn't make you lose your focus from your work but your home distracts you just by the house creaking! Why is that?

Working at home has so many benefits and I will be the first to sing the praise of everything working at home has to offer you. But sometimes you just have to get out of the home when distractions occur; and thank god that is easy to do when you work online!
Being home all the time has some great benefits including being home with your kids, pets, or just to take a nap whenever you want – but it also can backfire when the kids are screaming and the pets are whining and the bed is just too tempting.
Working out of the house if full of distractions but they are not the type of distractions that demand your attention. For instance, at a coffee shop there is constant noise with people talking and laughing, machines stirring and blending, and music playing in the background but they are not personal distractions. While these people and things may do things that are loud and annoying you can quickly get past that and focus on your work; but at home one small sound can distract you and have you losing focus in a matter of seconds.
Your family and home demands your attention in a different way. You can`t ignore their requests, even if you try, and therefore when someone yells, whines, or screams for your attention you have to break your focus and give your attention to them. Not only do they require your immediate attention but it usually drags into a long process of fixing something that is happening to cause the upset.
Pets do this very well. They are bored or they want to go for a walk and they will whine or bark until you literally can`t take it anymore and take them out for a walk out of guilt or just plain not being able to listen to them anymore. If you had been having a hard time concentrating through their whining and didn`t get much done and are now taking them for an hour walk then your time is not being used for work and you losing hours and money.
So sometimes you just have to escape. Working at home does not mean you are stuck in your house to deal with your home issues and try to work at the same time. Working at home should be about working from the spot that benefits you the most in terms of focusing and allows you to get the biggest amount of productive work done possible.
There should be no guilt as you are working! You are trying to make money for your family and if you are constantly facing home based distractions then you are literally losing money with every second your attention is distracted.
