If you want to succeed working remotely, this helped me:
1. Focus - learn how to 100% focus on your work, filter out any distractions
2. Socialize - find some nice hobbies involving other people with completely different backgrounds for the time you saved by e.g. not commuting
3. Pause - don't overwork yourself; having computer in front of you is enticing to cram more algorithms, experiments etc. into it - just put a firm boundary on the amount of work you do in a given day or you risk long-term overworking issues
I was following this for over 5 years and had the best time of my life working remotely with 0% office time.
