Our entire group is remote, and my boss has a fantastic way of structuring things. We have a weekly team meeting where we discuss our ongoing projects, and at the end of each week, he wants a short summary email of the work we did this week and the work we have planned next week.

That email is a godsend on Mondays to get myself back into the swing of things and remember what I was doing.

Yep, that's very close to what I do! Pretty basic scrum/agile methodology. Daily stand-ups, weekly planning, biweekly retrospective, etc.
