If you want to truly increase your productivity, stop taking 'fake breaks' and take real ones, instead.<br />A 'fake break' is one in which personal tasks are carried out, like making a doctor's appointment.<br />Real breaks, on the other hand, give the mind true release and relaxation.<br />Taking a quick walk, doing a guided relaxation, or even phoning a friend for a chat revive the mind.<br />And no, mindlessly checking your Instagram feed doesn't count! <br />
