I found that the best way to deal with the social isolation is to plan lots of coffees with friends and former colleagues, and plan to attend lots of meetups.

Gets me dressed and out of the house.

This is key. Working in the office, social interaction is almost a passive activity, ie the water cooler chat about the weekend trip away to London to see musical.

When working remote, it becomes conscious effort to seek out social activity and to connect. This extra step is difficult for some.
