WFH Distractions

For those that work from home, how do you stay locked in?
I am not at home often but when I am it is difficult to have my cats not start meowing while on a call and if I close the door so they don't come in, they just paw at it nonstop the whole day.

There has to be a solution I have not thought of yet but I am sure there are some interesting setups you all have on solving this or if you just work around your pets or distractions like outside lawn care work things.
Take breaks, work from a room you'll do nothing in (such as an office, avoid rooms where you usually do something else), put your phone away from you if you can and if you're easily distracted by notifions and go with doom-scrolling, use a computer or an OS dedicated to working (so you don't have discord, youtube, ...). When starting at morning, define which tasks you want to complete during the day.
