Rest is an important part of any activity, whether it's sleep, free time, weekends or vacations. During a break from activity, you can drink coffee, go for a walk, listen to music, meditate or do exercises. The main thing is not to be distracted by gadgets.

According to a study published in Educational and Developmental Psychologist, an unstructured 5-minute break from work is effective in restoring focus.

So your work will be more productive and you will regain your focus. It is enough to put the phone aside, move away from the workplace and calmly breathe, walk around, look out the window.

Scrolling through social networks is not a vacation. So you load your brain and nervous system even more.
