WHAT’S THE VALUE OF TAKING BREAKS
Why Take Breaks
Here is a summary of recent research and thinking on the value of taking breaks:
- “Movement breaks” are essential for your physical and emotional health.
- Breaks can prevent “decision fatigue”
- Breaks restore motivation, especially for long-term goals.

- “Waking rest” helps consolidate memories and improve learning.
Good Breaks:

- Change your environment.
- Have lunch or a healthy snack.
- Take a “power nap”-if it won’t get you fired.
- Take a few deep breaths.
- Meditate.
- Day Dream
- Get creative!
