It may sound completely contradictory to state that taking regular breaks at work can help you get more done, but it’s actually the truth!
How many breaks you’re allowed throughout the day and what you’re supposed to do with them really depends upon the employer you work for, but you should certainly be taking your lunch break away from your desk at the very least! Screen breaks are a given too, and whilst you might not have time free to do what you want with them you should be allowed to do a task away from a computer screen, to give your eyes a rest.
So, get up from those office chairs and give your eyes and your brain a refocus break. You’ll thank yourself in terms of concentration and productivity when you return. Who knows, you might even come up with a wonderful and inventive new idea around that solid oak boardroom table too!
Check out this video which takes about why you should be taking those breaks away from your glass office desks!
If that doesn’t give you food for thought, nothing will!
