Set fixed work hours (e.g., 9 AM - 6 PM). Don't work in pajamas — getting dressed signals "work mode" to your brain.

3.2

Use Pomodoro: 25 min work → 5 min break. Tools: Pomofocus.io (free). Aim for 8-10 pomodoros per day.

3.3

Communication: Over-communicate in remote work. Daily standups, async updates on Slack, weekly video check-ins.

3.4

Avoid burnout: Remote work blurs boundaries. Set a hard stop time. Close laptop. Go for a walk. Weekends are sacred.
