One of the main reasons remote developers who work from home have trouble focusing or staying motivated is because they lack a dedicated workspace. As a remote engineer, it’s vital you set yourself up with a separate space within your home that you dedicate to your work. If possible, try to set yourself up with an office that’s separate from your bedroom or living area; not only will this help you avoid distractions, but it’ll also help you separate your work from your personal life (more on that later).
As an online business, your website is your store and, like a bricks and mortar shop, it needs a name so customers can find it. The name you give your website is known as a domain name. Ideally, your business name and domain name will be the same. You can register your name through a domain registrar such as GoDaddy as long as the name isn't already taken. If the name you want to use is held by someone else, consider adding the state or city where you are located or adding your name to the business name to make it unique.

You’ll still need to keep track of your time to stay productive, though. Apps like Clockify and Focus To-Do will help keep you on track. Communication tools won’t be as important since you can create a free account to use most of them when the need arises.
A growing cottage industry of what some managers call “tattleware” now caters to company leaders wanting some way to peer over workers’ shoulders and confirm their productivity. Several time-tracking and employee-monitoring companies, including ActivTrak, Hubstaff, Time Doctor and Teramind, told The Washington Post they have seen their customer base and revenue soar since the pandemic pushed many companies remote.
