It’s important to take breaks, but when it’s so easy to roll right over rest times in favor of checking the next thing off your to-do list, it can be hard to ensure you’re actually stepping away. The right gear and mindset shifts can help. First, we recommend you figure out your brain’s ideal routine so that you can create a work environment that will boost your productivity. Then, get the most out of your respite by using some helpful tools—like cute desk timers and notification-silencing settings.
