Jim Kwik shares three ways to fight fatigue: use the 20/20 rule to limit screen time, stay socially connected through friends or group activities, and monitor emotional health with therapy or journaling. Start with one habit instead of overhauling everything at once.
10th suggestion would be to limit your screen time. Overexposure to screens can often worsen fatigue, headaches, cognitive overload. You don't have to do this all at once, but what if you took regular breaks? You could use the 20/20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look away for 20 seconds at something 20 feet away. You could use blue light filters. You could use blue light blocking glasses to reduce the eye strain. Stay socially engaged. Social interaction, it stimulates the brain and improves emotional wellbeing. Connecting with friends, family, support groups. Engage in a group activity. Like maybe you want to join our book club or online coaching. Something when you're ready. But just being around people that encourage you, that believe in you, that cheerlead for you helps you to reduce stress. You have to be able to learn and level up together. Monitor and address your emotional health. TBI often affects mood, mental health. It can lead to anxiety, depression, irritability. And recommendation, you could seek counseling. You could seek therapy to process these emotions and build coping skills. You could practice gratitude, journaling, to focus on positive outcomes during your recovery.
