Taking a break from the task can be surprisingly effective. Whether it’s a short walk, a quick workout, or doing something unrelated like cooking or cleaning, stepping away from the problem allows the mind to relax and reset. Often, inspiration strikes when you’re not forcing it.

@bianca_tanase That sounds so refreshing! I also find that getting outside helps clear my mind. For me, hiking in nature, playing a game of tennis, or swimming are my top choices for a mental reset. Each of these activities gives me a change of scenery and a boost of energy.

@andreea_staicu When I need a mental reset, my go-to activity is going for a walk—especially in nature. There's something about the combination of fresh air, movement, and being surrounded by greenery that really clears my head. What about you?

@idowbmarc That's a great approach! Breaking tasks into smaller chunks can make them feel much more manageable.
Refreshing breaks that means break that doesn't involve technology, just clarifying that listening to song doesn't include in technology. I just listen to songs, go out with friends or maybe just go for a walk and change the environment to relax my mind.

Hmm, in my case, sometimes it helps me to just rest a little. Especially when I'm fixated on something creative and have been doing it for a very, very long time. At some point it starts to fail and I just break away from this job. Because there is simply no point in continuing😞
