Key takeaways from Why You Need To Take A Break From Work For Good Productivity

Sometimes we need to do less to do more. Skipping breaks is killing our productivity. Here's why you need to take a break from work for good productivity.

Highlights

Here are the 12 stages: Excessive drive/ambition Pushing yourself to work harder Neglecting your own needs Displacement of conflict (blaming others for the stress you’re under) No time for nonwork-related needs Denial Withdrawal Behavioral changes Depersonalization (feeling detached) Inner emptiness or anxiety Depression Mental or physical collapse

But accepting that after a couple of very productive hours, you need a break before you can come back and do that again is a good start.

Get outside and just walk. Even if you don’t have the “aha!” moment you’re looking for, you’re probably going to be likelier to stumble upon a creative breakthrough later for having taken the break.
