Meetings, Emails & Mental Fatigue: How Work is Destroying Focus
Jul 01, 2025
It’s not laziness.
It’s not a lack of ambition.
It’s mental fatigue—and it’s quietly eroding focus, productivity, and well-being across your organisation.
In Episode 20 of Master Stress with Dr. S, I dive into one of the biggest silent saboteurs of performance: the way we work.
As a stress doctor and founder of RQ Wellness, I’ve seen what happens when workplaces ignore the brain’s basic operating system—and what’s possible when we start working with it.
Inside this episode:
✔️ The neuroscience behind cognitive fatigue.
✔️ How excessive meetings and constant notifications affect brain performance.
✔️ Practical, science-backed strategies to reduce cognitive load.
✔️ What a brain-friendly work culture really looks like.
✔️ How HR leaders can embed recovery, clarity, and focus into the flow of work.
If you're committed to high performance without burnout, it starts with how your systems support the brain.
Because when the brain is supported, brilliance follows.
