I've been a remote worker since 2007 (mostly for Silicon Valley startups), and so have learned that for better work-life balance (really integration) it is important to have certain physical separations, and hence I operate a double desk environment.
I have separate desks, Macs, notebooks, and most importantly phones.

Office

Desk 2 (coding/evenings/personal):
