Take a Break to be More Effective

Take a break


Taking breaks is important in many situations. A deserving break will clear the clutter in your mind, reduce your stress so that you can think, decide and work more effectively.  So, take a break:


  1. When you have completed a task: Reward yourself for a job done well. Take a coffee break and chat with your co-workers. After a short break, you are refreshed and ready to take on the next task energetically.
  2. When you cannot solve a problem at hand: Don’t carry on with it. Take a break and forget about the problem. In most cases when you come back after a break, the problem is solved instantly.
  3. When there are too many urgent issues to attend to:  Get away from the mess and release the tension in your mind. When you are calm and composed attend to each and every issue one at a time with focus and concentration.
  4. When something is troubling you: Again, take a break and stop thinking about it. When your mind is at ease, just ask yourself,” What is the problem?” Think clearly and address the problem accordingly.
  5. When there is an important decision to be made: Don’t decide in haste. Take a break and take your time. Allow your mind to be cool, calm and collected before you reach a decision.
  6. When things are not happening as expected: Don’t feel sad or disappointed. Go into the open and breathe in the fresh air.  Feel good about yourself and look at the bright side of things and think positively. The situation is not as bad as you have thought.
  7. When you are down: Take a break, relax and replace your negative thoughts with positive ones. Think of happy thoughts to cheer you up.
  
A break is all you need to be more effective.
