I have worked 100% remote for 9 years. Before that, I was part time remote. The single most important thing is to have a dedicated space where I do my work and nothing else. In our current place, that’s a well appointed home office. Other times, it’s been Starbucks or other away-from-the-house spot. Whatever the space, it contributes to the second most important thing: a schedule and routine. Even with a flexible schedule, it’s important that my brain knows we’re going to work at this time no matter what and we end at that time no matter what.
I have an iMac in my office and a MacBook Pro for mobile, and it happens to work out that I do my job work on the iMac mostly and my side project work on my MacBook Pro, but I have both available on both machines for flexibility. My “fun computer” is my iPad Pro.
