Ten concrete, usable remote-work tactics: a numbered set of ten tips that include Pomodoro 20–25 min focus blocks, using Fitbit move reminders to force mental breaks, and scheduling 15-minute one-on-ones with every new teammate to build relationships. Also: explicitly state accomplishments to be your own PR, accept kid and pet interruptions as normal, and prioritize mental health; a running joke bans flamingo interruptions.
