One of our goals for July is to take more breaks.
It seems almost counterintuitive. We’re still working from home (and likely will be for a LONG time). Our beds are feet (and in some cases, inches) away at all times. Distractions abound (laundry! books! roommates!).
And yet we find ourselves being sucked into the work vortex more than ever.
Maybe it’s because the line between work and play has gotten so blurry. Or maybe it’s because there is simply a LOT to do. But either way, we’re having to be intentional about pulling our eyes away from the computer — both at the end of the day, and, perhaps even more critically, throughout the day.
All-day screen time can’t be good for our eyes (or our brains), right?
So that’s our new goal. Frequent, regular breaks.
We challenge you to try it, too. Walk a lap of your apartment. Look out the window. Go outside. Power nap. Think.
Our brains deserve it. You deserve it.
