Working for long periods of time without taking a break is not time effective. Energy decreases, and physical stress and tension accumulates. Irritability, fatigue, and anxiety can all be caused by the failure to take a time out during a normal work day. Periodic breaks can rejuvenate, invigorate and stimulate a person to be more productive. Don’t be the workaholic who thinks that if you are not always working, you are not being productive. On the contrary, taking a few well timed breaks, with a change of venue, some isometric exercises, or a little bit of social interaction, can make all the difference in the world. Not only will it be refreshing, but it will also increase your efficiency.
Remember, anything that contributes to your health and well being is good time management.
