Knowing when to take a break is importnat, but a lot pf people don’t know how to take a break. Some would say that surfing the internet for a few minutes between articles will do the trick. Others profess that getting up and going for a walk fills the time nicely. While these ideas may seem on track, that’s not entirely the case.
A break is defined in several ways, but the one we’re going to focus on is:
A pause or interval, as from work.
It’s important to remember that you really do need to press the “pause” button when you take a break. That means if you work on a computer all day, you should get and get away from it during the break. If you work inside, go outside. If you work in solitude, find interaction of some sort. A break should not only be that interval you take to get away from your work, but give you a chance to break the pattern you have while working.
How you take your break is as important as when. Do it right and you’ll come back recharged every time.
