Taking Breaks Makes Us More Productive

Did you know that taking regular breaks can actually make you more productive? Research from Baylor University shows:

1. People who take "better breaks" experience better health and increased job satisfaction.
2. Breaks reduce mental fatigue, boost brain function and help us stay focused.
3. Team members who regularly take breaks have 13% higher productivity than those who don't.  

Stepping away from your desk every 90 minutes (or more frequently during intense work) can reduce errors, improve focus and increase task engagement.

This aligns with the Bold Kindness philosophy of creating “white space” by intentionally setting aside time to think, reflect and recharge.

It’s in these quiet moments that our best ideas and greatest clarity emerge.Sometimes slowing down is the best way to speed up.
