You probably already know that our brains are a muscle which mean that they need their downtime as well. Overworking your brain and working straight from 9 to 5 without taking a break can be incredibly counter-productive. For our brain to be able to pay attention to detail, it needs to be well-rested, so it’s crucial that you schedule regular breaks. Get up as often as you can and walk around the office, while you should also give yourself mental breaks. Spare a few minutes to read your favourite blog, or to look up recipes for dinner. Going back to work with a refreshed mind can make your brain more focused which can help you spot any mistakes or just make it easier to pay attention to detail. If you are worried that taking regular breaks might not go down well with your boss, well you don’t have to share that piece of info with them, do you? All they need from you is results; you can keep your breaks to yourself.
