Meetings That Drain You | Harrisburg News

Meetings are secretly draining you—new data shows over 60% of people in meetings over 15 hours a week feel stressed, and two-thirds say they’re wiped out. The culprit? Uncertainty. When you don’t know the purpose, your role, or how to prep, it’s mentally exhausting—especially online. Fix it by setting clear agendas, defining roles, and asking targeted questions instead of vague “any thoughts?” Even letting people reply via email can spark better ideas. And don’t ignore the physical toll: racing heart, tense shoulders? Breathe. Caffeine might make it worse. Prep is power—know the agenda, rehearse your points. If anxiety keeps messing with your work or life, it’s okay to ask for help. You’re not alone. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
