I agree with making sure the work is split so one team can work while the other team sleeps. It's nice waking up in the morning and seeing that someone else committed changes that set you up for fast progress today, or that they verified the code you committed before going to bed.

>Turn some part of your regular scheduled meeting to cover some fun parts. We do this regularly within our department. We do virtual team-building activities like a virtual tour of What is in your fridge using a Miro board.

I'm disheartened by this suggestion. I think at least half of my top performers would be looking for new jobs within 30 minutes of me asking them to install the "Miro app" on their phone so they can livestream their refrigerator to the corporation. Or whatever this thing is supposed to be.
