Based on results from a previous poll, let’s talk about fatigue.
Being a community manager is tedious work, as you know. So how do you protect and maintain your energy levels and what are you doing that makes them drop?
Factors like; unyielding demands, non existent work-life balance from always being available, absence of support or recognition, emotional drain from handling members’ concerns and working alone in unrealistic benchmarks, contribute to fatigue.
Due to handling a lot and being everywhere, steps you can take to curb or remove fatigue in your life comprise:
Establishing strict off-hours boundaries
Utilising templates and automation
Assign where possible
Support via peer groups
Routine follow-up with leadership
To get your spark back, try:
Prioritising a viable self-care routine
Maintaining a structured sleep pattern
Engaging in physical activity
Digital detachment intervals
Relaxing hobbies
Take your health and well-being as serious as you take your work. It’s one thing to take on a lot and another to not be in tip-top shape to perform excellently.
This & That
The workplace comes with different scenarios that makes you scratch your head and take decisions.
One minute, you’re trying to survive the day and the next minute, you’re questioning yourself on why you’re working there.
In a recent thread, people responded to ‘what can make them leave their place of work’. Check it out to see the different scenarios that can make someone quit.
I’m sure you’re interested in a handbook that addresses association in your community. Peep the challenges and how to solve them.

😄 MEME OF THE WEEKEND
The Maths is mathing. Weekends are like the first gulp of cold water on a sunny day.
It’s welcome, refreshing and much anticipated, to a long demanding week.
🎥 FILM OF THE WEEKEND
Television producer, Leah Caldwell, is about to become the first woman to run New York’s top morning show, when her ex Jarrett Roy steps in to compete for the same position.
It’s a storyline that touches on achieving dreams, trusting again and second chances.
Settle down for the weekend with this film.
😜 JOKE OF THE WEEKEND
Q - What is it called when a cat wins a dog show?
A - A CAT - HAS - TROPHY!
DID YOU KNOW❓
Netflix is older than Google. It was founded in 1997, but the company didn’t seem to become the world leader in video on demand. Netflix was just renting out DVDs and delivering them by mail. And Google was founded in 1998.
