Why not agree to play once or twice a week? For example, every Monday night, you two jump on for a few hours and play and catch up?
Also, what do you mean you got nothing done? You bonded with your brother. That seems pretty valuable to me!

A lot of these games are designed in a way that makes them less fun when played only a little. Or you become a drag on the team. There are also long term quests and you need to be present to participate.
An explocite agreement on playing twice a week breaks "plausible deniality" here. For some reason it is hard to admit that we are doing it for social reasons. It would be like calling brother on the phone directly - the same block preventing you one action prevents the other.
I think the solution to this is to find games that don’t do that
