This podcast explores communication fatigue, also known as information overload, which is a state of mental exhaustion that diminishes our ability to process more input. Contributing factors are endless digital inputs, meetings, data, multitasking, messaging, and being perpetually “on call.” Implementing boundaries, assessing communication value, scheduling focused work, practicing mindfulness, and taking device breaks can help manage this fatigue. Unplugging from devices brings back rhythms of quiet and stillness that allow us to truly connect.
