Your list of things to do is likely long – things to grade, read, and review. With so much to do, sometimes you just need a minute. Whether you’re waiting on someone or something or procrastinating on a project you don’t know how to tackle, it can be easy to let your focus drift somewhere else, especially with the world just a few clicks away.
Are you doing it right now? Wait, that’s OK! That distraction trap isn’t all bad. Science even supports brain breaks (Psychology Today). In fact, taking a few minutes to do something else can make you more effective. Ultimately, a walk, a power nap, or a conversation might do more, but sometimes those aren’t possible. Even reading something else unrelated to what you’ve been doing can be enough to give you a recharge.
If you just can’t get enough, search our blogs or check out our Success Stories or Newsroom.
