Work Life Balance – Take a break!


take a break if you find yourself stuck
on something if you find yourself unable
to make progress on a project that
you’re working on take a break because
often if you just try to ram something
through you’re not going to get the
results that you’re looking for and if
you take ten minutes go away from it and
come back you’ll often be refreshed and
be able to solve the problem the two
quick stories for you that happened to
me recently so yesterday Jason who’s
helping me with my new website and all
the branding that goes with it he’s
working on some coding problem something
on the website some some bug that he’s
trying to work through and he and he
couldn’t find the solution and he’s
spending like an hour on this thing and
and I just see him on the computer like
rubbing his eyes and unable to make
progress on this thing and so he does a
smart thing and he goes and he takes a
break he goes out goes for a walk get
some food comes back and within five
minutes of sitting down again he solves
it and this happens to me so much and I
don’t know what it is about the human
condition that that that allows us to do
this but I often find myself with these
kinds of problems and and I may come
back to it the same day or maybe it’s
the next day what the solution often
comes really quickly after taking a
break so again if you find yourself
pounding away on something and you’re
just not making progress you just can’t
figure out what the problem is take a
break even at like 10 15 minutes and
come back to it another good example is
insulted dancing I love salsa dancing I
love teaching people how to dance as
well and I was working with a student
teaching her how to do some turns and
she just wasn’t getting it and so I said
okay you know it’s okay it’s okay we’ll
come back to it will move on to other
stuff and it was it was an hour those
with her and we did other moves and at
the end of the hour came back and they
did the turn again and she got it and so
the first example was you know
programming business-related this was
salsa dancing personal new skill anytime
they’re trying to figure something out
if you’re if you’re doing it over and
over and over
and it’s just not working out for
whatever reason I don’t know why this
happens but if you’re not making
progress stop and come back to it later
that day or the next day and you’ll
amaze yourself with how you’re able to
quickly make progress and think why
didn’t I think of that before it will
take a break believe those are watching
