You need to have a dedicated home/remote office space. You should stick to a schedule and get up/get ready each day and go to your home/remote office. You need to stay focused and not let the distractions of home hurt your productivity. This isn't working in your pajamas in your bed; you actually need to take working remotely seriously and remain professional.

Leave the house and work in a public place like a coffee shop, at least a few hours per day. It is very easy to get into the mind space of home when you are there, which includes both positive and negative emotions (being distracted by messes in the house, laziness / sitting on the couch, emotional residue from a fight with your partner the night before, excitement of having friends over later, etc.)
Rent a co-work 2-3 times a week. Don't work alone if you can help it. Leave the house so you don't get caught up doing chores around the house.

Have a quiet, focused space, either in your home or outside your home. The org has to be onboard and invest in remote infra: move meetings to video, move daily communications to Slack/chat, etc.

Make your space your own. If you need to be around people, hit up a coworking space. Prefer to be alone? Get a home office. Set the temperature to your preference, get a comfortable audio setup (earbuds, headphones, USB mic), splurge on a good chair, go for a standing desk or treadmill desk. Whatever is just right for you, because you'll work better when you're comfortable.

Self awareness is really important - consider your surroundings. Plug in and charge any chance you get. Tip well especially if you're becoming a regular at coffee shops for any periods of time. Always have a backup (ideally plug in) pair of headphones. Always have access to a good hotspot (phone can work great, no additional hardware required).

Finding the right workspace is crucial. I work best from my home office, whereas my husband is productive working from a couch, the dining table, or wherever else he can find a comfortable seat. A space where I can focus, but also that I can step away from when the day is done, makes all the difference.

If working from home, have a dedicated space to go while working that is separate from your "living" area. If you find yourself working in areas that are dedicated to relaxing (your couch, bedroom, bath tub, etc), it becomes difficult to fully disconnect when you are done for the day.
If there's a type of environment you work best in, find it or create it. If sitting on your couch isn't a great work environment, invest in a desk. (If a desk isn't ideal, get a couch!)
