Is there a ready-made memo for the relatives of a freelancer?
I mostly live at home alone, but now my relatives are often away, who live for months, when I work in the office, in general, it’s not a problem. Now I have taken home a big project, I retire in a room, I work almost until the morning. On the part of relatives: 24 hours a day, he has fun at the computer, for 5 minutes you can distract him to move the closet / tell where we have something / how to get there, for 20 minutes he will be distracted, he will take him back and forth, in general, the removal of the brain, I can’t concentrate in any way. Because people are far from our Internets, but I’m completely afraid to stutter about freelancing, I thought to look for some useful article, print it out and show and tell how I work, and then I thought maybe I could find / make some kind of memo and frame it)
I would like something simple and cool, something like:

Each individual needs their own approach. Most often it helps: you explain with obscenities that you are busy and that's it. Preferably with insults, so that there would be no desire to listen a second time.
As an option, a lock on the door and a work schedule and not respond to provocations.
Well, if you are a calm person and you are not taught to be rude (and I would definitely master this skill), you can simply “take out the trash” at any time, call a “husband for an hour” or analogues. This is the only way to explain in an accessible way that you are expensive during working hours.
When he lived with his mother-in-law, he acted like this. I just sat and played games, for each help, helped. But didn't work. Somewhere on the 2nd day they asked what was wrong, why I didn’t work. He said that I would not be able to help around the house then. And this is clearly a priority task. So I decided not to work again, ever. The question is closed. When a recession appears, is it enough to "quit?".
All relatives consider me a psycho, but they are used to it. I call it "radical psychology". Work is in full swing, the economy does not distract.
PS: The most important thing in life in general is to learn to say "no".
It is necessary to simply and clearly explain why you should not be distracted when you are working. If someone does not believe that you are working, then this is not their problem, but you did not explain clearly and they did not believe you. You just need to sit down and talk to your relatives who are distracting you, and explain everything. 1 time and forever. And it will not be necessary to use "radical psychology".
print out an announcement that you work at such hours and it is strictly forbidden to disturb you
