Magic Happens During The Pause!
Initially you may feel it awkward and a time-waster, as we are used to continuous work, but remember, we are humans and not machines!
With time you will realize the magic of pause, and how it multiplies efficiency.
During the pause, you might
- just realize to breath
- correct your posture
- get a better idea to finish the task in a much shorter time!

- Gain multifold efficiency!
So, go ahead and feel free to take those short pauses!
