You have to commit to managing your own time effectively and efficiently because nobody else is going to do that and there's no social pressure/encouragement of your co-workers around you.

You have to reach out and communicate when you're struggling or blocked because nobody will know by your body language.

You have to step away when you need to because it's easy to get sucked into non-stop work which isn't always productive work. This is even better if you're allowed to have a truly flexible schedule (e.g. you could work a few hours in the morning, take the midday to yourself, and work the rest of your day in the late afternoon/evening or switch it up and take the morning to yourself and work the afternoon/evening).
