For those that work remote, how do you fight loneliness?

Sutra.co is 100% remote but I feel like I'm constantly on Zoom calls so I do feel that lonely. Also, our whole thing is about group learning experiences, so we're always doing something with groups online. I work with my wife too and we're almost always working together in the same room. If you feel lonely, I would suggest organizing some sort of group. Could be a small men or women's group or a group of other creators that you know. And just get together once a week over Zoom for an hour or two. If you feel lonely, for sure other people do too and they would appreciate this.

I combat loneliness by scheduling regular virtual coffee chats with colleagues and joining online communities related to my interests. Staying connected and engaged helps me feel less isolated.

Honestly, I haven't found a solution to this yet but I try to 'force' myself to go out and participate in activities, once in a while.

I have a cat breaking into my ZOOMs!

Jupitrr AI is a fully remote company. But all the team members live with their partners or family except me. I live with a couple of flatmates. It helps in remote to live with some friends as you can go on evening tea breaks, chat a bit in the day time and chill after work. That's why I don't usually feel lonely except if I am celebrating any festival away from the family.

I go to coworking places I practice sports with others I schedule networking calls with people in my field regularly I do video calls once a week with my co founders

Work from public places

Just get married to someone who also WFH 😉

@alexdigitalmkt Finding a balance between work and social interaction, and making an effort to stay connected, can make a significant difference

When battling the solitude of remote work, I combat loneliness by scheduling virtual coffee breaks with colleagues or hosting a hilarious 'pets at work' video call to keep things lively!

My dog keeps me company! Also (depending on where you live), I hang in my garden on short screen breaks (we grow a lot of edibles in our front garden - so there's always something to harvest or weed) & there's always someone passing by to chat to. What about you?

I try to go out and work in places with other founders! This way I can find some friends with similar interests

I participate in virtual team-building activities. They help me feel connected to my coworkers even though we’re far apart.

Very easy, meet up with friends sometimes or get to binge watch a movie.

Before I was married I’ve adopted a dog. It is really nice, dogs are the best partners ever.

I keep my workspace near a window. Natural light and seeing the outside world helps me feel less isolated.

Regular outdoor activities, like hiking or cycling, help me meet people and fight loneliness.

I use social media to stay in touch with friends and family. It’s a quick way to feel connected.

I arrange virtual coworking sessions with friends. Working together online makes it feel less lonely.

When I don't have any social activity planned for the day, I push myself to either go to the market or do something outside. It can be as simple as reading in a park, but at least I get some fresh air and see other people. Working from a cafe can also help! Are you struggling with loneliness?
