I think you should just be consistent with your hours to avoid looking disengaged. And when work piles up, prioritize and plan for the next day. Burnout doesn't benefit anyone.
It’s so hard in an agency to achieve this but I will maybe start blocking my calendar after 6 or 7 so people can see I’m off!
Seriously, I just log off. I start a lot of morning emails with “Sorry. I’m just now seeing this.” The company didn’t go out of business the night before. I didn’t get fired. Everyone got what they wanted. The End.
You just have to set some boundaries and be rigid about enforcing them. Don't get pulled into the trap of working all the time and putting in a ridiculous amount of hours. If you set a precedent of doing that, people will just exploit you until you snap. And, your work will suffer. Humans are wired to work and to rest and get back to work refreshed. Working perpetually is just doing it wrong!
I think I’m already in that trap! I need out!
Agree with all of the above and I'd also be mindful of how you communicate and level-set expectations - if you say you'll do something and then it doesn't get done until the next day and someone has to follow up and ask the status, that could be more of a problem than if you'd said in your initial note that "sure! i've got a full afternoon but i can get this to you tomorrow." So being proactive about timing can demonstrate you're still engaged, but you're also a human with other work and a life outside of it.

Cool! Thanks
The best thing is to set your own hours. Have a certain time you start, take lunch, and end. Working remote shouldn't mean you are available 24/7
