As a project manager with 10 years of remote work experience, I recommend establishing clear communication protocols. Create time blocks for deep work, use status indicators in team chat, and most importantly, learn to 'log off' mentally after work hours.

Definately set clear working hours and create a dedicated workspace. I use a separate laptop for work and have strict 'office hours' even at home. Its helped me maintian a better work-life balance and prevent burnout.

Psychological boundaries are crucial. I've implemented a ritual of 'closing' my home office - literally shutting down computer, closing laptop, and changing clothes to signal transition from work to personal time. This mental separation has been transformative for my productivity and well-being.
