Sure! Set up a space for work, even if it’s small, I think having that dedicated area is nice. Still get up and get ready for the day in some way, doesn’t have to be the full routine, but it helps me have a sense of normal while doing remote work.
I'd definitely recommend designated an area of your home to be exclusively used for work. If you have an office, that's ideal, but if not, even just a small desk in a corner somewhere will do. This will help you establish boundaries between work and your personal life.
Like others said above, a designated area is a must. If it has a door, even better to keep the noise out. Would recommend a standing desk as well.
Make sure to take your lunch breaks, go for walk and don’t work overtime unless it’s needed.
When I started remote work I was working long hours because I was home already.. or eating at my desk etc.. i was on call more than when I was in office..
Set some boundaries if kids, family members, or roommates are home during your working hours. Make sure they know you're still on the clock working from that timeframe. Plan out your schedule/breaks because it's super easy to overwork when you're home and "off-the-clock" but needing to complete work for the day.
A designated area with all the things you need, also make sure that the area is appropriate for video conferencing and that you can close it off if need be.
Stay away from your pantry at home, so you don’t end up snacking all day!!
Block off your lunch time - even if 30 minutes to take a break to eat or just step away from your desk

Oh interesting re: pantry! I’m not normally a snacker
