Have you heard the phrase, “sharpen your saw?”

It’s based on the concept that by stepping back regularly to rest and recharge, you can accomplish even more while you’re working.

Taking a break isn't just about stepping away from your desk, it's about recharging your mind and body so you can come back stronger. Whether it’s getting a snack, stretching, or grabbing some water, a well-timed break helps you stay focused and productive.
