Break planning

Break planning is choosing short, helpful breaks before you need them. It makes returning to tasks easier.

Definition

Planned breaks reduce decision fatigue and help the brain recover. Breaks can include movement, hydration, or a short breathing reset. The key is to keep breaks short and purposeful. This supports attention and prevents burnout.
