I've been working remotely for almost 4 years. - As others have mentioned, wake up on routine. Shower, get dressed, make your coffee, etc., and aim to do this at the same time every day. My wife works 2 days from home and the nights before we tend to stay up a lot later -- it really throws off the rhythm and it's better to not do that. - Many people have said to make the office space a space you don't go in the rest of your time. For me, that's not an option, since it's the only space I have for my gaming computer and for doing personal work. To cope with this, I change up my office. I have a Bamboo standing desk, so I'll stand while working most of the time and sit while playing games and relaxing. I also use a different keyboard/mouse for the two, which helps to draw that distinction. - Many have mentioned to avoid distractions, and find something to do in your office when you are struggling with a task, like write on a whiteboard. This is really important and somewhere I still need to improve on. When I get distracted or stuck on a task and need to get away from it for a while, my goto is a snack or a youtube video -- the latter is something you wouldn't really be able to do at work. That being said, a LOT of time is wasted in the office with casual chit-chat, which is it's own coping mechanism. It's important to take breaks just keep it under control. - I get scolded for checking slack after work by the wife. She's right (as others have mentioned). Have a time where you cut it off otherwise you'll never feel like you're not working.
