To work remotely, organization and effective communication are the key. For me, I end the day updating my daily 'To Do' list and working on the list for tomorrow. Anything that did not get taken care of today goes to the top for tomorrow along with any new tasks or projects. Each morning I get to my desk before the calls start to review my planned work for the day. Any follow up calls or emails are taken care of right away.
Communicating effectively via email and texting requires attention to detail. Starting each communication with a hello and brief recap of why you are communicating before the actual 'meat' is helpful because everyone is getting bombarded by multiple issues. End with a thank you and if you promise to follow up, do it and do it on time.
