Take A Break

Take A Break

It's okay to take a break once in a while it is essential. The human body is the greatest machine that was ever invented just like any hardworking piece of machinery we are vulnerable to overload, especially with the increasing abundance that we are consuming daily.

So it's important to hit the refresh button after a hard day of work to ensure we stay at the top of our game.

This is what I did in my burnout to keep myself sane.

Reset

Recover your energy and get back into your work refocused. You are not doing anyone any favors by overworking yourself. it's best to take a break and dive back in with a fresh set of ideas rather than producing a lot of work that ends up disappointing you and your team.

Quality always trumps quantity.
