Taking breaks from working is so important. Whether we work in a 9-5 job or run a business, we need to step away from the hustle and bustle. Breaks are opportunities to recharge, refuel and even get quick tasks done. I know numerous simple ways to use your breaks to boost productivity. Personally, I have tried and adjusted my approach to work breaks and I want to share with you 10 simple ways to use your breaks to boost productivity. Similar to how I benefitted, I hope that these simple ways to use your breaks to boost productivity will help you.
- After spending a long time completing a time-consuming task, reward yourself by doing something you enjoy. This can be as simple as reading a chapter from your new novel.
- The stresses on the job can be overwhelming at times. Step away from the work to look outside at nature, soak up some sunshine, and take calming breaths.
- Do you do graphics, writing, or other creative work? Try doodling or writing freely to get your creative juices flowing again.
- Keep yourself motivated throughout the day by pausing for a dose of music or a short motivational video.
- After repetitively sitting at your desk to work, get up and do some stretches to ease those tensed muscles.
- Whenever you’re feeling overwhelmed or anxious, go for a short walk outside.
- Always have water and healthy snacks nearby to keep your body hydrated and fueled all day. You can make this easy by having a liter-size water bottle and meal prepping.
- A cold shower is good for fighting-off tiredness and feelings of being sluggish. Have a quick, cold shower to get yourself recharged.
- Sometimes your mind and body just need rest. Pause to take a power nap when you need it.
- There are always simple, quick tasks on our to-do list. Use the opportunity during your break to get them done. For example, folding clean clothes or washing the dishes.
Who knew that taking a break from work could be so simple and so effective? These are only a few of the ways in which you can use your work breaks to boost your productivity. I hope that are routinely assessing your daily activities for ways to improve your work efficiency and productivity.
