Give Your Brain a Break
Our minds work just like our other muscles, and evidence suggests that taking regular breaks helps fuel productivity and creativity. Our brains will stop registering a sight, sound or feeling if that same stimulus is constant over time or remains unchanged. To prevent overload, take a short break to refresh your mind when you feel like you’re getting overwhelmed or distracted. Make sure to leave your phone and any other work-related devices at your desk . Try going for a five-minute walk outside and just enjoying the fresh air.Â
