Hey! I have been a remote engineer for about 14 years and even started startups from small apartment multiple times. I have lived in 1BR, with work. My honest retrospection is that this is much harder than people think. I have been through burn outs and one of the reason is surely the lack of boundaries.
Please set boundaries, like time or space. Even a curtain helps. But your rules are only as good as your follow through. I have much better balance now, more like I work less than 8 hours and am constantly open to take breaks. But this happened due to the burn outs and health issues and my life in Germany. I started realizing that if I live better, longer, I have a better chance at whatever I plan to do.
