I know I struggle with this sometimes, so please tell me of any other suggestions you have.
- Write letters (if you want one, please send me your address)
- Write letter-like emails instead of just business ones
- Have team video meetings that are for checking in instead of other topics. We have these and it's nice (especially as a newbie to the team) to just check in and see people's pets
- Have video happy hours (my team is doing them on Fridays)
- Teach friend's something over video. Do you know how to dance? Can you teach a cooking technique?
- Have a video dance party. You can even do this as a silent disco so everyone is listening to their own stuff but everyone is dancing together
- Be sure to smile and say hello to people you do see in person
- Be sure thank any people providing a service to you (you should do this anyways, but it is especially important as they are more stressed than normal now)
- Remote game nights. Tons of games can be played online or can be done through video chat easily enough
- Schedule video chats with loved ones. I find it much harder to do video chats if I haven't scheduled it in advance
- Can't find time to video chat? Record video messages and send them
- Browse goofy sites so you can find fun things to send friends. I love getting goofy memes and other things from people because it lets me know that they're thinking of me
- Send "just checking in" messages to loved ones
- Watch things with people. You can do this in a few ways, but sharing something is a great way to connect
- Have a virtual book club
(Prompt by me)
