Apparently, there is now something called "Body Doubling" that allows remote workers watch others via laptops or other mobile devices to keep them mentally engaged. Interesting times.

@nnamdi_iroaganachi Yes, I have heard about it! I wonder how well that works though. Not very sure if I can let someone stare at me while working haha
@edworking hahaha I know it might feel a little weird but it goes to underscore the need for human connection of some sort

Phone calls and online meetings. We usually start our work week with meeting where we agree on week schedule :)

@sandradjajic That sounds like a good start! Well prepared is half done! But are there any obstacles that you face in carrying out this activity every week? Technical or Managerial?

Consider using video conferencing instead of just phone or email when communicating with your colleagues. Seeing each other's faces can help create a more personal connection. Using the right tool (like https://www.workhub.ai/connect/) is much essential.
