Why you get Zoom fatigue, and how to fix it

I have been fascinated by the changes to my own work practices and relationships thanks to the emergence of Zoom as a more standard communication technique and social norm for business calls. Sure, we have had access to video calling for ages, and I have used it in the past to chat with grandparents and even for a feature or two when I couldn't manage to make a site visit in person. But the pandemic really thrust video conference into the mainstream. For me, that's been great (I talk to many people I have never met every week; seeing them, instead of just hearing them adds a really valuable layer of information to my work, and helps to establish a bond of trust more quickly). For others... not so great.
