I work from home for about a year. I found it quite hard at first. I think working part remote is preferrable (under normal situations I appreciate at the moment it isn't). However this is what I found worked for me: * Having a routine. Getting up to work, commuting, working, going to gym, eating dinner, relaxing etc. is a routine. I find it gives me some structure to the day. If you are working remote I would encourage you to work out a routine and stick to it. * You need to have a separate work space and have "working hours". I have a completely separate PC and office setup for work. Once I am out of that office it helps me mentally switch off from work. A friend of mine who runs his own business rents a small office (these can be inexpensive). However I am freelancer / contractor and this can be considered a business expensive. * Make sure you go out for a break during the day. Make this part of your work routine. * I typically have to drive about 1hr 30 minutes to the office. So that is typically a commute of 3 hours everyday. Doing this 5 times a week is tiring and adds up to 15 hours each week. That is 2 working days. However I do like the social aspects of an office. So being able to go in maybe 2 days a week, talk through solutions work face to face helps. But obviously not possible at the moment.
