I&#x27;m a fan of remote work too, and your devil&#x27;s advocates list is pretty much an example of remote-work gone wrong.<p>It&#x27;s happened to me, and I found that I needed to:<p>- Have a routine, or else one day blends too seamlessly into the other
- Always go out with my friends on the weekend
- Make good food (Blue Apron was a huge help in this respect)
- Get dressed &amp; do it well to make the context switch to being at work
- Set it you up so if i&#x27;m at work, I only do work things and not other chores<p>As for the rest, happily I don&#x27;t yet have to worry about kids and my only office equipment has always been my computer.
