Feel Guilty Taking Breaks? Here’s Why You Shouldn’t!
Share

Ever feel guilty for taking a break when you’re super busy?

But here’s the truth: breaks actually boost productivity and mental clarity.

When you step away, your brain has a chance to recharge and refocus.

Try the 50/10 rule—work for 50 minutes, then take a 10-minute break.

In that break, do something relaxing: stretch, breathe, or grab a snack.

You’ll come back feeling sharper and more ready to tackle your tasks.

Remember, rest isn’t wasted time—it’s part of doing your best.

Give it a shot and see if it makes a difference!
