Take breaks to recharge from "summary" of The Practicing Mind by Thomas M. Sterner
Taking breaks to recharge is an essential aspect of any practice or endeavor. Just as a muscle needs time to recover after a workout, our minds also require breaks to rest and rejuvenate. It is during these breaks that our minds can process and absorb the information we have been working on. When we are constantly pushing ourselves without taking breaks, we run the risk of burnout and diminishing returns. Our minds become overwhelmed and fatigued, making it difficult to focus and retain information. By taking regular breaks, we allow ourselves the opportunity to step back, relax, and come back with a fresh perspective.
It is important to remember that breaks are not a sign of weakness or laziness, but rather a necessary part of the learning process. By incorporating breaks into our practice routine, we can actually increase our productivity and efficiency. When we return to our work after a break, we are able to approach it with renewed energy and clarity.
In addition to improving our focus and retention, breaks also help prevent boredom and burnout. By giving ourselves time to rest and recharge, we can maintain a sense of balance and enjoyment in our practice. This can help us stay motivated and engaged in the long run, leading to more sustained progress and growth.
By embracing the concept of taking breaks to recharge, we can cultivate a more mindful and sustainable approach to our practice. It is through these moments of rest and reflection that we can truly deepen our understanding and mastery of our craft. So, the next time you feel yourself getting overwhelmed or exhausted, remember to take a break and allow yourself the time to recharge.
