All the people on this planet have been given the same amount of time. Time is a limited Resource. Once gone, it never returns. It is best treasured when used properly. When anyone wants to achieve more in the same time, the productivity must be at its best. It is not for nothing that people with proven productivity credentials are given more powers so that they can bring in results. Research proves that the optimum lecture time is 45-50 minutes. After that time, the mind roams elsewhere and its attention in the lecture slips. Lectures are designed hourly in the universities, keeping in view that the breaks will give people some energy and they will be fresh for another lecture.
It is true that with time the efficiency decreases unless a break is taken to resharpen the mind or get some energy and refresh. In view of the same, breaks are designed in the company timetable for workers who have a monotonous job. Other than lunch breaks, there are tea breaks pre & post lunch hours. These breaks rejuvenates the workers and they are ready to get back to their work. Unless the work pressures are very high, the focus tends to lose and hence a break is needed. People feel tired while working continuously. Unless there is passion, work is tiring. Owners can work continuously because they are passionate about the business, about the work. But when workers do the same job, at the back of their mind, they have that it is their 8 hour job. They are doing it for money. Unless it is brought to their attention and unless they are trained, they are not as passionate nor interested to do it continuously. In such a scenario, a break works perfectly.
A break gives them some time to speak with their colleagues, take some tea, go to toilet, drink water, etc. Once they have taken the break, they will be faster in their work when they resume. Take breaks, make life easy and increase your productivity.
