It's the thing I miss most about working in the office. We would take an extra long lunch almost every Friday at a local bar down the street, then come back to the office and mostly work on skunkworks projects. Some of our most creative stuff came from those Fridays.

Now my Fridays are filled with the same monotony as the rest of the work week.

People don't know how to work remotely. It's still kind of a new concept in the mainstream after all.

You need to make social engagements during the day with friends. Otherwise it's lonely and isolating. as a nice plus, seeing your actual friends is much nicer than seeing your workplace "friends" who'd likely sell you out for half a dollar.

Go grab lunch at a pub, coffee, do some exercise or whatever.

Between my wife and children and neighbors and friends, I am the opposite of lonely and isolated. Not every remote worker is a hermit.

My company just gives us Friday afternoons off.
