>Give yourself a dedicated space (very preferably behind a door that closes if you don't live alone)
IMO, this is one of the best pieces of advice you can give. This is also one of the things that I got very wrong for a while.
Don't work where you decompress. Don't decompress where you work. Otherwise the two start blending together and both suffer.
If your living situation isn't suited for a dedicated workspace, don't fall in the trap of working from your couch or kitchen table every day. I've had days where I worked from a coffee shop in the morning, drove to a park and sat under a tree when I could work completely offline, and finished the evening at a pub typing over a pint or two. And I still accomplished more than the days I'd sit on my couch and "work" while marathoning Star Trek.
