The Power of Microbreaks

How to use short breaks to boost wellbeing and improve concentration
masterclass

Heavy workloads and tight deadlines, together with an almost constant stream of virtual meetings, make it hard to remember we're not designed to be sat down focusing and processing all day long. Unlike the machines we work with, our ability to concentrate, think creatively and make decisions diminishes over time. 
 

This workplace wellbeing session explores how taking short, intentional breaks throughout the day restores our capacity to think, communicate and work well. 

The Power of Microbreaks
