One big thing for me in adjusting to remote work was "turning off" at the end of the day. I actually started a thread which generated some great replies:

As to your specific question about showing progress: in addition to whatever project management and/or issue tracking software you might use, I think it's reasonable to have a weekly routine of writing down your goals for the week on Monday, and reflecting on how things went on Friday. It provides a regular cadence to share your plans and progress in a repeatable format, and it's nice to look back at over time.

You can even do the above fully in private, and only ever bring it up if you think your boss would appreciate more visibility. I've found this to be a helpful routine even in "single player mode."
