Meetings Can This Only Be This Long Without People Zoning Out

Many people don’t know how to value a job.  Here’s a benchmark for you:  Value your job MORE if your day is NOT just an endless string of useless meetings.  Also, FREE coffee is a plus.

Researchers talked to workers about VIRTUAL meetings, and found that the average American is able to handle a meeting for 26 MINUTES without falling asleep.  But then it can go downhill fast…and by minute 27, we’re zoning out.

That seems dramatic, but we’ve all sat down for a Zoom … felt alert and motivated… only for our energy and concentration to slowly DRAIN out of our increasingly lifeless bodies.

32% of people who do virtual meetings say they experience “screen fatigue” and 40% say their “eye health” is deteriorating.
