How many Zoom,
GoToMeeting or other virtual events have you attended lately? Did you know that
there is something called Zoom Fatigue? Yes, it is a real thing; I’ve
experienced it and didn’t realize it. It’s that state of having tired eyes,
stiff legs from sitting, and feeling drained at the end of the day.
Here’s a fun
way to beat Zoom Fatigue while amusing yourself. Pretend you’re part of The
Brady Bunch. You remember that TV
sitcom from the early 70’s. During the intro of the show, each family
member appeared in a box, like Zoom. Try
this next time you’re virtual - smile, look up, look side to side, and start
singing…
“Here’s a
story, of a lovely lady…who was bringing up three very lovely girls…”
If that
doesn’t amuse you, tilt your head as though you’re listening intently. Remember
to adjust every now and then so you don’t appear frozen. When you are tired of
sitting, turn your camera off and dance around the room, you’re at a virtual
dance party (that’s a thing now too). Keep your microphone muted.
Break up the
craziness of virtual meetings by finding ways to bring relief. We’ve looked at
the silly side of participating in virtual events. If you’re looking for real
solutions to Zoom Fatigue, check out the article, How to Combat Zoom Fatigue.
What are
your silly solutions to Zoom Fatigue (or real ones)?
