Virtual fatigue

Virtual fatigue

Have you been working from home for months or maybe over a year due to the Pandemic? Do you sit at your computer for many hours per day and don’t seem to make progress into the mountains of work that you have.

Do you think that the more you do in one stretch will help you fi nish early?

Do you have back to back meetings without a break? Does this weaken focus and engagement? Sadly for many people fatigue starts to set in after only 30 minutes and is compounded by continuing to work through it.

What recent studies have shown

Constant virtual meetings have shown that people become exhausted. When viewing close up recordings of people in virtual meetings there are many people with a hyper-glazed look! So, how eff ective can such meetings be? Physical meetings enable you to socially interact before, after or during a break but that does not appear to happen as much with virtual meetings, which means our fundamental need to interact is not being fulfi lled. Virtual meetings are eff ective and can really work well if the right strategies are in place; they can also cause problems when technology fails or the internet crashes, causing stress and anxiety and no one around to help you.

Breaks are important

It is very important that you take regular short breaks especially between meetings and not just toilet breaks then rushing back to your seat. but ensuring that you stretch your body out and do some deep breathing too. A break can rest your brain help with energy and improve your focus. Resent studies have shown how the brain slows down when focusing in meetings for any lengthy period and performance naturally is not as eff ective.

Good things to help are:

 Standing up and stretching  Deep breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth  Learn how to power nap by setting your phone timer  Ensure you drink plenty of water and stay hydrated
