      I highly recommend this strategy too: If you work remote, your visits to the office should be on a regular schedule (independent of project timelines) and focused on building social relationships (instead of work deliverables)https://twitter.com/patio11/status/1303756486162538496 …

      I have nearly given myself caffeine poisoning with this strategy, so I recommend maybe not making it literally coffee, but FWIW back in better times this was very much an important part of integrating as a remote employee. (My actual record was 37 in a week.) https://twitter.com/orrc/status/1303735843291574272 …

      We are social creatures and prioritize what is nearby. Building relationships means someone will actually answer your email first thing in the morning as opposed to grabbing a coffee with their deskmate, saving a 24h response cycle

      The one exception is that you can schedule 2 or 3 meetings to resolve complicated situations which need support from a large group of (senior) people

      I used to be based in Amsterdam and visited San Francisco for a week every six weeks. Over time, I got comfortable scheduling only half of my meetings in advance. The other half would fill up organically

      Especially high premium are the breakfast, lunch, and dinner/drinks slots. As people are more relaxed and comfortable taking an hour

          The frequency and predictability also makes it easier to hold off ad hoc travel requests

          Related: I used to have a bunch of recurring 1:1 video calls just to gossip for those weeks I was remote, because email will tell you *what* is happening but keeping your ear to the ground is critical to understanding the *why*
