Establishing professional boundaries is an important part of maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
It can be easy to fall into a habit of working more than you need to, especially when you’re working from home. You might feel pressured to show how productive you are away from an office, or maybe you want to make a good impression after taking a new position. You may also feel like you’re expected to work longer than the typical 8-hour workday, especially if your coworkers never seem to log off.
Taking breaks also allows your brain to process the information using diffuse thought. As opposed to focused thought, diffuse thought lets your mind step back and work through a problem creatively behind the scenes. Ever had a great idea in the shower? This is diffuse thought at work.
