Ask HN: How to make remote work a success?

Develop your own rituals. You have to replace the 'going to the office' structure and routine with something that works for you. That you can slip into and easily get into work mode.

For some people, that means getting dressed up. Keeping a dedicated home office. Strict time routines, etc. The what doesn't matter so much, as long it provides you with familiar structure.

The key in the beginning is to over-emphasize discipline (and communication) until you find a good balance.

As mentioned in another comment, I plan to have a dedicated office space and "go to work" up the stairs or down in the garden. I am making the assumption that lack of proper structure and set up will make maintaining discipline harder, so I'm trying to avoid that trap.

Any suggestions with regards to what works when communicating ?
