Hey Man, here's my secret: I take a 5-10 minute stroll every hour. Not around the block, just inside my place. 😅 Might sound quirky, but it's my thing, and I enjoy it.

I take my dogs for a walk while listening to

Couldn't agree more! My quick break ritual involves a short walk to stretch and clear my mind. Also, a cup of tea works wonders. How about you? Any favorite rejuvenating rituals to share?

Answer

Yes, taking a five-minute break can be a productivity booster. Short breaks during work can help refresh your mind, reduce stress, and improve overall focus and efficiency. Activities such as stretching, deep breathing, or a quick walk can be beneficial. However, it's essential to manage breaks responsibly and ensure they don't become too long or disruptive to your workflow. Finding the right balance for breaks can contribute to sustained productivity throughout the day.

I work from home for 80% of time. I go to my parents and have a quick chit chat for 10mins. Eat something and restart.
