The Best Ways to Use Breaks to Be More Productive (Infographic)
To be your most productive self, take a step back from
your work.
Between working, exercising and
spending time with family, you may think you’re giving yourself enough breaks,
but what about during work?
Taking breaks throughout your
work day is vital to maximizing productivity.
Think you don’t have time? Even a 30-second break can account for an increase
in productivity.
There are different strategies
for a work-break balance too, and it’s important to find the one that is best
for you. For example, try out a 25/5-minute split -- that means work in
25-minute blocks and take five-minute breaks between. If that doesn’t work for
you, there’s also 50/10 minute split.
What you do during your breaks
is just as important. If you only have five minutes, eat a healthy snack, read
an article or even try to solve a Rubik’s Cube. When you have 10 minutes, make
a coffee run, tidy up your desk or watch a TED talk. If you’ve got more than 10
minutes -- take a walk outside, call a friend or family member or even sit in a
cafe and people watch.
