How to navigate codependent work-from-home relationships

My roommate and I both work from home and we've fallen into this codependent dynamic where we interrupt each other constantly for validation and distraction but then resent each other for the lack of boundaries. We both know we're doing it but we've created this environment where neither of us can focus.
