Every business wants to boost productivity and profits. Whether by human capital or capital equipment, services and products are churned out each day. It’s a double- edged sword. While we’ve learned improved labor practices since the indusrtrial revolution, companies like Google have taken preserving human capital to new levels by including mental balance – especially among leaders who are steering the ship. Being busy does not equate to increased productivity. In fact, constantly being on the go and working long hours leads to decreased focus and diminished creativity. That’s where taking regular breaks come in. Allowing oneself downtime provides an opportunity for decompressing and rejuvenation. It allows executives and entrepreneurs to recharge their mental batteries, clear their minds, and return to work with renewed vigor and fresh perspectives. This, in turn, will lead to enhanced problem-solving abilities, better decision-making, and increased efficiency when managing their businesses.
