Allison Graham talked about mental health tips during the Covid pandemic. Included in her new book "Take Back Your Weekend" she noted with the increased of zoom and other social media, we do not have time to take a break and recharge.Some of her tips to reduce stress included focusing on reducing the barriers to performance such as worry, self judgment, and negative self-stories. To overcome these barriers she suggested increasing our self awareness of stressors, getting over trying to complete and ever expanding to-do list, and exploring our efficiency of we do.
To get over zoom fatigue her tips were to 1) hide the self view, 2) provide a buffer between meetings, 3) evaluate if another mode of communication might be better (phone calls, email, etc.) 4) have a different location for work zoom calls and social calls.
