I love to "parallel play"—working alongside someone else on Facetime or in person without direct collaboration. It helps keep me off my phone and from doom scrolling. Similar to an accountability partner! Especially since I work remotely, it also feels like I’m working alongside a co-worker even though it’s usually just a friend in a completely different industry.
Yes, i’ve found a couple of apps that really work well for this. This is why I’m always going to coffee shops, I don’t need the interaction, but its the energy and vibe that helps me to get into focus mode.
I’m thinking about adding a parallel coworking session for marketers dispersed through a bunch of franchised offices under my corporate umbrella. The more I read about them, the better an idea that seems! Do you have any do’s or don’ts to share
Ouu yes I love to do this too! I work a remote job and sometimes my colleagues and I will set up “work sessions” on Teams where we just log on and work together. This can be super helpful if you have a project you’re working on together especially because if something comes up, I can just ask rather than waiting for an email response, during which time I may get distracted completely from the task.

Thank you so much
