Of course, some of these suggestions might seem obvious. After all, who hasn’t tried to boost energy with a walk or a cup of coffee?

“It might sound counterintuitive, but you really want to plan your relaxation,” Gerbstadt says. “That way you can consciously make use of your break time.”

When taking your 10 minute break, the key is your intention. It’s what makes the difference between another 10 minutes wasted in procrastination and 10 minutes that leave you recharged and ready to face the rest of the day.
