Reduce or eliminate technology
- Don't default to Zoom. Set aside blocks of time where you're not available for online meetings.
- Choose physical over digital. If you brainstorm for an article, write your thoughts on paper. Sketch the initial draft of your big project on a whiteboard.
- Move as much as possible. In between meetings, take a walk to the kitchen to refill your water or coffee. When you need a quick break, roll your shoulders to get the blood flowing. On a normal phone call, consider walking back and forth.
- Take tech-free breaks. Eat lunch away from your computer, look out a window, or read a physical book. Consider a post-work outdoor physical activity.
