Take regular breaks

Skipping breaks during work can result in cognitive fatigue. Remember to incorporate regular breaks throughout your day, ideally aligning them with your performance periods when possible.

  • During your peak performance periods or when working on tasks that demand mental effort, such as those involving selective attention and processing speed, taking a break every 40 minutes has been proven to reduce cognitive fatigue.
  • If you’re working outside your peak performance period, it’s advisable to consider taking regular breaks every 25-40 minutes for optimal cognitive well-being.
