For one, if you live with others, make sure they know that during the hours of 9-5 (or whatever your hours may be), you are actually working and cannot be disturbed.

My major struggle during my first full time work from home job was family would see I'd be home during the day, and ask me to run errands or do other personal matters during working hours. It was an uphill battle trying to explain to them that I, too, worked during the day - just not in a traditional office building.

Also, if you have the space, try to set up a dedicated "work" office, and them a "home" office in a separate room. Once your work day ends, you can leave your "work" office just as you would a traditional office. I've found this helps with keeping a regular schedule and not working 10+ hours a day. An alternative to having a separate office is utilizing a local coworking space.
