I've just started working remotely. I think one of the major benefit for me is actually that we mostly communicate via e-mail/messaging services. Of course there are plenty of situations where talking face to face is more informative, but I often find that to be rare. Communicating via text has the added benefit of documentation and allows you to think about what you are actually writing. I find describing what I plan to do with a client via text helps me organize my thinking. I work in data analysis though. So maybe this doesn't apply to other fields.
