Here are some simple rules to keep working at home sane: 1. Work in a place that you don't normally use to relax when you would get home from work. Maybe a spare bedroom, maybe the kitchen with a stool. 2. Start work on time, and keep your schedule as non-pandemic-y as possible. Don't sleep in until a minute before work, but get up and pretend to do your commute. Make sure you make your coffee early, too. 3. When your done work on the clock, STOP ANSWERING EMAILS/SLACK/WHATEVER IS WORK RELATED. Now you're home for real. I've worked on and off remote in software, and has saved my sanity every single time. The biggest thing is people are afraid to say no, but in reality, if your boss asks you to do work after you're done your day, either ask for overtime or don't even answer it. It's not your responsibility to work when you're off the clock. If your work would force you to work after-hours even before the pandemic, then there are a few problems: the bosses don't understand the work you do, they don't respect your time, and/or you enable them by working beyond your hours.
