short breaks | unhook for the health of it

just as you need sleep to learn and build long-term memories, you need rest to promote brain function - allowing yourself downtime with minimal stimuli helps replenish your brain’s capacity for attention, focus and creativity, and it allows you to process new information you’ve learned and tie it to other ideas - we have all been there when on a walk or in the shower and, voila, you find a solution to a problem you have been facing - you can thank your non-focused brain

reduce stress & prevent burnout
stepping away from work helps lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone), reducing mental fatigue and preventing burnout

boost focus & productivity
short breaks (even 3 minutes) give your brain a reset, improving concentration, problem-solving, and creativity when you return to tasks

fight sedentary death syndrome
sitting for long periods increases the risk of muscle stiffness, poor posture, and even cardiovascular issues - movement-based breaks keep circulation flowing

upgrade mood & mental state
short breaks—especially those involving movement, deep breathing, or nature exposure—trigger the release of endorphins and dopamine, spiking mood and energy

improve memory & learning
studies show that stepping away from a task allows the brain to process and consolidate information, enhancing memory and retention
