Overbooked and overloaded with Zoom meetings can cause real fatigue.

While working from home has long been a sought-after perk for some employees, a new reality of frequent online meetings and an inability to disconnect from the job has created a new stressor called “Zoom burnout.” Workplace burnout is nothing new, but this new digital version has its own idiosyncrasies.

This happens with virtual keynote speakers as well. Your meetings and attendance will suffer.

Keep meetings and yourself optimal by doing this:

? For every 20 minutes you spend looking at a screen, take 20 seconds to look at something 20 feet away. If you find yourself suffering from tired eyes, try the 20-20-20 rule: For every 20 minutes you spend looking at a screen, take 20 seconds to look at something 20 feet away.

? While there isn’t an ideal meeting length, you want to go as short as possible given the goals of the meeting, don’t be afraid to limit your meetings to 15, 20, or 25 minutes.

? After each meeting, consider logging off your computer to give your eyes a rest and allow yourself to recharge for your next responsibility. If possible, consider taking a walk outside to change your scenery.

This will create a renewed sense of vitality and provide efficiency for your work.
