The Power of Rest Breaks: Small Pauses, Big Results

Your brain isn’t built to focus nonstop. Just like muscles, it needs short breaks to stay strong. Taking a rest break—even just 5 minutes—can reset your focus, lower stress, and improve memory. When you work too long without a pause, your attention fades, and mistakes creep in. A quick walk, a deep breath, or even staring out the window gives your brain the space it needs to recharge. The key isn’t doing more—it’s doing smarter. Schedule short breaks every hour, and you’ll get more done with less effort.
