3 years of remote work experience here:

1) Report frequently

2) Ask for paring if boss likes or whenever you need non-trivial discussion (it's better than chat obviously)

3) Tell boss what you will do today, your expectation on results

4) When problems occurs, let him know immediately or within 4 hours

I did all of these just for less than a year. After that he doesn't give a shit what I do anymore. It's kind of lonely now lol
