After how many meetings do you become exhausted? Is it the quantity of meetings, or their length that makes it worse? Is this just with online meetings?
For me:
Quick succession meetings that I lead are the most exhausting. It's a bit worse with online, but in person it's also draining. From three of those or more, I am knackered.

To anyone who works from home:

Is it just me or are meetings with camera at least twice as stressful? I end up completely burnt out from them.

Meeting fatigue is an enormous problem. Before scheduling a meeting, ask yourself:

1) Is there a compelling purpose to bring people together?
2) Does the content of the meeting REQUIRE engagement & interaction?
3) Is there REALLY no alternative communication method that would be just as effective?

Other considerations include having no-meeting days, purging all meetings (Shopify & TechSmith did this), & cancelling all meetings with more than 3 people. #meetingfatigue
