If you want to prevent your self from burnout from virtual meetings however during it or after it try to Practice Self-Care: Incorporate regular self-care routines into your day, including exercise, relaxation techniques, and hobbies. These practices can help manage stress and prevent burnout. And here'a a general tips from our team experience. For you Prioritize Essential Meetings: Evaluate the necessity of each meeting and attend only those that are crucial to your role. Decline or delegate meetings that may not directly contribute to your tasks or goals. For team you can Encourage Video-Off Moments: Allow participants to turn off their video cameras during portions of the meeting where visual presence is not crucial. This can reduce the feeling of being constantly watched and decrease the strain of maintaining a constant "on" appearance. In Total you can Limit Meeting Duration: Keep virtual meetings focused and concise. Whenever possible, aim for shorter meeting durations. Consider using techniques like the "stand-up" format, where participants are encouraged to give updates quickly and efficiently. Also you can, Schedule Breaks: Incorporate short breaks between back-to-back meetings. Use these breaks to stretch, relax your eyes, or take a short walk. Breaks can significantly reduce screen-related fatigue.

Go grab your favorite drink from the fridge right before the meeting. Every time things get overwhelmingly boring, take a sip. Or during meetings, find a fidget to occupy your hands and that can make it more tolerable.

It's more a matter of working on oneself and integrating a company that values the same values as oneself. A good walk in nature every day will be a great deal, and taking breaks is often more beneficial than you think.

Sorry that this might sound like a shameless plug, but it's honestly true; my go-to is to use my own product. 15 minutes of journaling with Unstuck, and I feel the stress of it all decrease.
