Is ‘presenteeism’ the reason you feel so exhausted?

Ever get the feeling that you’re even though you might be physically present, your mind - and energy levels - are somewhere else entirely? This is the premise of ‘presenteeism’ - and thanks to the joys of COVID we’re experiencing something of a pandemic of this, especially ‘e-presenteeism’.
