Your Phone Doesn't Need to Be Part of Every Break
Why putting your phone away during breaks can give your mind the genuine rest it actually needs.
When a Break Isn't Really a Break
We call it a break, but sometimes we're just switching from one screen to another.
You finish an email and immediately open Instagram. You close your laptop and pick up your phone.
Your brain never really gets a chance to slow down.
Try Five Minutes Offline
Take your next break without your phone.
Walk outside. Make coffee. Look out the window. Stretch. Do absolutely nothing for five minutes.
It might feel strangely uncomfortable at first.
Give Your Brain Less
We tend to think that rest means finding something entertaining.
But your brain doesn't always need more stimulation. Sometimes it needs less.
A few quiet minutes can be enough to return to your work feeling noticeably lighter.
