there are synchronized and non-synchronized tasks.

if its something where we need to synchronize with other team members, then schedule it ahead of time, or else let me know asap / hit my cell / etc.

One of the givens of remote work is that you have "synchronous hours" where the expectation is that you're within 5-15 min of your computer, and that you put status messages if you're away / out.

e.g. "OUT LUNCH" at 12:41pm means I can reasonably guess where you are (lunch) and roughly when you're going to be back (1-130ish).

non-synchronized or non-time-sensitive tasks can be done whenever so long as deadlines are met
