I found the Pomodoro technique to be even more effective when working remotely. It forces me to work hard at manageable stretches as well as to write down what constitutes a 30 minute chunk of work. I'll write out a list of items that fit within these chunks at the end of my day including items from my backlog. These can even be learning new skills. Distractions are usually a consequence of being burnt out. That means you need to take more _effective_ breaks and/or work out your discipline muscle, meaning you can go longer and more effectively.
