Because our bodies were designed to work in rhythms, not for endless hours on end, breaks are often just as important as the work we do.

Research … showed that regular breaks significantly enhance problem-solving skills, partly by making it easier for you to go through your memories to find clues.

Focusing only on your work for four or five hours straight limits your chances to make new, insightful neural connections, which won’t help you when you need to be creative.
