Are you taking enough breaks?
Taking breaks at the right time and for the right amount of time is a key to the healthy work rhythm that Saent encourages people to follow. Breaks are important for a number of reasons, and not taking them can lead to stress, burnout, poor productivity, and poor work quality. In this guest post at Remotive, I go over why breaks are so important, how to make sure you take them, and how to make the most of them.
_People sit at their computers for hours on end, and the only breaks they take are usually forced upon them by basic necessities like food, going to the toilet, or a real human interrupting them.
I see it around me every day, and so do you. In coffee shops, co-working spaces and, of course, regular offices. Almost everyone working on a laptop does this, and it’s perhaps the second worst thing you can do after “multitasking.” Until about a year ago, I wasn’t even aware of this problem myself._
