How to Avoid Zoom Burnout

By Paola LaMadrid, Family Studies & Human Development major and CALS PALS mentor

Feeling some Zoom fatigue? Take a look at these tips to help you out!

Avoid Multitasking

Now it is easy to click on a new tab and start working during a meeting, but this divides your attention. By multitasking you are working on more than you can handle, It is best to be attentive during your meeting and only your meeting. One task at a time!

Take a Break

Taking a break doesn't just mean from Zoom. Take a break from all screens. Take a minute to move around and stretch. Take a lap around the house, apartment or dorm. A great tip is making sure to have a set time for meals. When eating lunch move away from your computer.

Try Writing Your Notes

From always being on your computer for Zoom calls, homework assignments, and emails it is a nice break. Instead of typing everything out, take notes in your notebook. Give your eyes a break!

Your Workspace

It helps to have a designated area for your studies. Even if you are working from home separate that "Home" from "work" life. Sometimes it is also nice to switch it up! Take your Zoom class outside. Don't Zoom from bed!

Logging Off

Even if you are working from home get in the habit of logging off. You wouldn't always be at work or school so it is important to set a schedule of when to log off for the day.
