10-minute breaks: Balance edition

10-minute breaks: Balance edition


By the Roadmap+ Team
 

Each issue we share three ways to do more in a 10-minute break. Here are breaks 22-24.

  1. Write down your achievements
    Similar to a gratitude list, jotting down a few of your accomplishments reminds you that you can achieve things and eventually get through whatever it is you're going through right now. If it's work or study related, write down projects or assignments where you worked hard then received positive feedback or a high grade. You don't need to keep the list as the process of creating it is relaxing in and of itself.

  2. Stretch
    Bring a yoga mat to work and have it nearby ready to roll out when you need it. It may be awkward at first, but if you've been slogging away for hours without a break, you'll feel physically better about having had it at your disposal.

  3. Read something that makes you happy
    Current affairs around the world are hitting most of us hard lately, so much so that there are various reports of productivity levels and general optimism dropping. So instead of opening a news site, Facebook or Twitter, try Sunny Skyz or the GoodNewsNetwork for the latest warm and fuzzy stories.
