It's not just you. I cannot manage to do people stuff over videochat. Not to mention virtual whiteboards are a frustratingly poor imitation of the real deal. On the other hand, I do work better on my own, when I just need to grind out some work.

I guess my ideal would be 2 or 3 days remote and the rest in office.

Whiteboarding has been a real loss here. It feels like ages since I picked up a marker and made a data model.

There really is no remote alternative that isn't super expensive or lacks the responsiveness of in-person.

Have you tried Miro? It's $8/month if you want to invite others to edit your board. I find it offers good value at that price point. I'm a UX/product manager though, so I tend to pull in a lot of external visuals while I'm working. So YMMV.

I am worried that Miro is becoming the new Jira.
