<\/p>

In fast-paced cities like Singapore, there\u2019s no letting up. It\u2019s all too easy to get swept away by one\u2019s perceived duties or by getting caught up in the rat race, leaving one little room to have a true breather. And if you\u2019ve been working from home, you know those lines are blurring more than ever before.<\/p>

And have you noticed how those around you are dropping the word “busy” like a verbal badge of pride in conversations? Giving yourself time to decompress can come across as indulgent, but the truth is that it is essential to maintain healthy productivity and a much happier and motivated self.<\/p>

The experts call it: The power of the pause.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We frequently talk about burnout, but what is it really? Some people think it occurs unexpectedly, but more often than not, it creeps in insidiously. One minute you\u2019re\u00a0<\/span>restless and always finding it difficult to concentrate<\/a>; the next you\u2019re incapable of performing the smallest task even if it\u2019s something you used to enjoy.<\/span><\/p>

Unlike stress which makes one anxious, burnout saps motivation and energy. Psychologists Herbert Freudenberger and Gail North outlined\u00a012 phases<\/a>, which starts with excessive drive and sustained workaholism, but transforms later into depersonalisation, depression, and eventually, full mental or body exhaustion. And in Singapore, it\u2019s a very real problem. Microsoft\u2019s\u00a02020 Work Trend Report<\/a>\u00a0shows our country coming up top in the Asia Pacific with 37 per cent of respondents feeling burnt-out.<\/p>

Some of the best ways to combat impending burnout are regular exercise, maintaining a healthy sleep schedule, and reframing work as one\u2019s priority and validation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Having those coffee breaks matter. If you still find them indulgent, know that these brief periods of rest have been proven to\u00a0increase productivity<\/a>\u00a0through better focus, improved mental health, and boosted creativity.<\/p>

For example, stepping away from work can help with decision fatigue, as researchers Danziger, Levav and Avnaim-Pesso discovered. They saw how\u00a0judges were less likely to give criminals a chance for parole later in the day<\/a>\u00a0by making increasingly simplistic calls as time wore on without breaks.<\/p>

On the flip side, sipping on that cuppa has been found to\u00a0improve memory<\/a>, and resting led to inspiration, as explained by essayist Tim Kreider. He\u00a0wrote<\/a>, “The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole, for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration \u2013 it is, paradoxically, necessary to getting any work done.”<\/p>

Start with\u00a0microbreaks<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 anything from a few seconds to indulge in a game on the phone or a few minutes staring out of the window \u2013 they work just as well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

With hybrid working now the norm, boundaries are blurring as work routines become increasingly mixed with home tasks. While invites from colleagues used to have you joining them for a coffee run, your reminders for a break may not be as obvious now.<\/p>

But how do you determine your body and mind need a break? Physical symptoms are your best bet. If your neck is hurting or your eyes are tired, use that as a sign to stretch and move a little, even if it\u2019s just to the living room. Always have regular mealtimes, then just let yourself sit back and enjoy the scenery. Better yet, go outside for a walk.<\/p>

Scheduling in short breaks after a block of set time for work is a healthy habit to adopt. There\u2019s even a name for it – the\u00a0Pomodoro Technique<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Recall how you often postponed picking up a hobby, or putting off a task for far too long? The effects of burning out means you won\u2019t even touch those during your down time, so it\u2019s best to prioritise them into your breaks to jumpstart that engagement.<\/p>

Apart from micro breaks mentioned earlier, take\u00a0deep breaks<\/a>\u00a0that remove you from your work scope. For example, if you\u2019re an accountant, you could practise drawing in your sketchbook for 30 minutes. Departing from your routine is a real mind spa.<\/p>

Active breaks also rejuvenate. For instance, simply walking about\u00a0can fire off powerful creative inspiration<\/a>. And if you\u2019re feeling up for it, a light 30-minute workout can have uplifting effects that last through the day.<\/p>

Scene-changing\u00a0<\/a>breaks<\/a>\u00a0suggest that taking in a different visual setting \u2013 like going to a park instead of staying in your apartment \u2013 can make for a stimulating break. Thankfully, there are always pockets of green even in the concrete jungle that is Singapore\u2019s business district.<\/p>

Social breaks involve contacting your friends and loved ones just to catch up. It\u2019s a great way to\u00a0maintain mental health<\/a>\u00a0and feel connected to the bigger things in life. Instead of working from home, you could also try a coworking space. The alternate setting and organic community may be just what you need from falling into a rut.<\/p>

Take a breather and keep up these good work habits to let yourself decompress and stay refreshed and motivated. After all the lifestyle and professional changes of the past one-and-half-years, you\u2019ve definitely earned it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
