3. Create breaks while you work

It’s important for the employer to have a break policy and document it in an employee handbook. This will help structure your break schedule. Many people don’t benefit from all the breaks available to them throughout the day.

Block your schedule at predetermined times

Now that you simply know your employer’s break policy, use this to make a daily break schedule. You can even create event blocks in your Google Calendar to remind yourself to require breaks and stop coworkers from scheduling over them.

For example, if your employer allows for a 30 minute lunch break and a couple of separate 10 minute breaks, consider this daily schedule:

12:00 – 12:30: Lunch

2:00 – 2:10: Break

4:30 – 4:40: Break
