Just the different wallpaper and icon set can change the way you approach the system - having a document folder organised purely for work without the clutter of life helps too. The other tip that works for many people working from home is to still dress for work. The novelty of working in your underwear fades, and if you dress like you're at work you're more likely to act like you're working. Plus it all kicks into the routine side, like your trip to the newspaper; I know a few people who "commute" in a similar manner just to keep that work routine aspect happening.
