I've had the opportunity to have all my professional experience be remote, and it has been quite an experience.
Starting out as an out of school grad in 2020 I found it hard disconnecting since it was remote, work was basically my life. A couple of months in, I would get burned out, recover and get back in. This cycle kept repeating itself, after some realisations I started to rethink my time management and priorities. So since last year I've been sticking to a 9-5 weekday schedule, no work weekends and getting the work done sustainably.
My best advice for early remote workers is you're no use to your team dead (figuratively), so pace yourself, there's always the next day.
