Today we are diving into something that most people disregard at least once a day, don't think much about, and don't understand how much impact it has on their performance, health and well-being.In this insightful podcast, we dive into the compelling reasons behind the crucial need for people to incorporate regular breaks into their work days. Based on surveys, and oodles of articles you can find anywhere on the web, it appears most people think that if they skip breaks and/or lunch they can get more work done.  It turns out that is a completely false assumption - in fact by skipping breaks in your work day, you get less work done, you produce poorer quality work, your performance declines and your productivity declines. And if that is not bad enough, your health and well-being decline too. Fueled by neuroscience research, we uncover the profound impact of breaks on both the brain and the body, exploring the detrimental effects of neglecting breaks and the cognitive advantages of embracing them.In this podcast we touch on:The 6 biggest ways NOT taking a break impacts your performance and health, based on the neuroscience of what happens in your brain when you do and don't take breaksThe 4 biggest ways taking breaks helps your brain outThe 8 most important elements to consider when taking a break, based on the science of what your brain needs from a breakWe also answer the biggest questions that are asked about this topic:So what should my breaks include?When do I take a break in my work day?
