The interviewer wants to know which systems and processes you have in place (or plan to put in place) to ensure productivity while working from home. To deliver a great response, show that you have a structure to your day. For instance, if you abide by the method of time-blocking your tasks, take the time to discuss this time-blocking approach, and give a supporting example.

Walk the interviewer through a typical day in your current role, highlighting what you do to remain on task and schedule. You will want to avoid sounding like a person who goes where the wind takes them. The interviewer will not want to hear that you just go with the flow, addressing tasks and issues only as they arise. Highlight the fact that you are well-organized and able to lead yourself and your tasks independently.
