What are tea breaks all about? Well obviously they are breaks when you can have some tea. As a true born Brit I need regular tea. But are they a necessary break to recuperate, or could they be a key plank in a good time management system?
Here are two scenarios. I have a load of work to do so I will plough through it until 11 when I will have my well earned break. Or if it isn't well earned I will have it anyway. In fact regardless of what effect it has on my productivity I will have a break at 11.
Or how about I decide to focus on working flat out for 3 hours, and then have a break. I will obviously aim to have it at 11. But I will put the focus on the 3 hours of concentrated work. Then, when I get to my tea break I will really have earned it. That turns it into a celebration of having at the very least achieved three hours of concentrated effort. At best I can look back on some solid accomplishment as I drink my tea.
I generally do the first. I wonder how it would work out if I tried the second?
