13. Do nothing during mini-breaks at work - Deepstash

13. Do nothing during mini-breaks at work

1. When you need a break at work, sit, relax, and do nothing

Resist the urge to pick up your phone and scroll through your social media. Instead, try staring into space – doing nothing.

2. Allow your mind to wander and daydream.

3. If you have any ideas or insights, briefly note them.

Quickly write them on your notepad.

4. Observe how it makes you feel recharged and refreshed.
