The Importance Of Productive Breaks

When employed labor is involved, productivity in terms of time becomes important, because the employer generally pays the worker in terms of time. For many jobs, then a shift from task-orientation to timed labor occurs, as the laborer’s time becomes the employer’s money. Thus, a separation between work and leisure occurs, as

Furthermore, standard expectation results in a decrease in a workers’ efficiency when completing an assignment. In addition, making workers work for more than 40 hours a week result in less creative innovation For example, when a person “create an environment that never changes and is always the same, you’ll stop innovation dead in its tracks” (DeMers 2016). Also, there are too many distractions that workers are faced with in work that reduces productivity, like unnecessary meeting and conversation that takes up too much time.

Simply by distracting the mind?” and “…why would any sort of body movement play a part in decreasing stress?” to dramatically reinforce what he has been discussing and also, to make the reader stop and think on a deeper level rather than simply just skimming the text at surface value (Hamblin). Another aspect of Strick’s writing which proves successful is his ability to lead into the next paragraph by ending with short -yet powerful- sentences and the way in which he blends topics, allowing for the effective progression of the piece. Additionally, right from the beginning of the article, Hamblin makes the smart decision to capture the audience’s attention by commenting on professional tennis players being able to mentally bounce back after making mistakes during a point as the intensity of their game means “They can’t afford to dwell on mistakes” (Hamblin). By using this simple and realistic statement, the author ingeniously sets up for the contradictions to come in the very next sentence, “Peter Strick is not a professional tennis player” and later in that same paragraph, when he prefaces the remainder of the piece by saying Strick is “the sort of person to dwell on mistakes”, explaining his relation to the topic of stress (Hamblin).

This can be done through recognising intrinsic and extrinsic behaviours in training or matches, as stated above, weight loss, loss of self-confidence and other psychological and physical changes. This can normally be prevented by taking time out and using arousal control strategies; this can mean bringing back the fun factor, to pre-plan mental practice periods in which will help the performer’s state of mind. When looking further into burnout, an interesting study by (Feltz, Lirgg & Albrecht, 1992) completed a study highlighted the impact sport has on young performers, they found that there was a notable rise in specialization that occurred in youth sports, more young athletes are selecting to play a single sport to take part in all year round at younger age, with infrequent breaks and rest, the participation sustained in one sport is believed to increase the risk of sport related injuries, peer isolation, burnout and psychological problems, nevertheless the study concluded that it has both positive and negatives effects, it positively benefits the numerous and span domains, which include physical, physiological and social development which is an extremely important part of sports

When I am resting or sitting at my desk, I feel like I am wasting time that I could have used to take a picture of my samples or to create agar plates. However, I learned the hard way that taking time with every step, even if it is the tiniest detail, is crucial. In our fast-paced, busy world, we focus too much on finding shortcuts to get to the finish line the fastest. Surprisingly the long way around provides the most enlightening and enriching experiences. Taking my time at work, I rarely make mistakes and it helps me to relax a little. Being stressed out at work does not benefit anyone or anything; the probability of making errors skyrockets. More than just being less stressed, I gain energy too. The new concepts, ideas, and skills fuel my passions and only inspire me to learn further in depth. Furthermore, not only do I work to integrate an alternative fuel source into our future lives, but I also solve problems and interact with other researchers to find alternative methods that deviate from traditional solutions. One particular memory that comes to mind is when I was harvesting algae from outdoor ponds. The centrifuge was not working; excess liquids were mixing with the harvested algae. I needed to think of alternative

The author’s main point of this essay was that we get so caught up in our lives that there is barely any downtime to just be. She talks about how they signed her daughter up for soccer in the fall thinking it would be a one season thing but then they started talking about winter league. When she was walking her daughter play in the winter league, she thought that we need breaks or an off season to regroup and get our bodies together. Even the best of the best in their sports or careers take downtime to ensure that they don’t burn out. The author talks about the importance of an off season, to ensure that we have the chance to experience life at its fullest.

I will use this learning by addressing the issue or being uncomfortable with anything that bothers me or I could possibly do damage. I will allow myself a break time because I will use my skill of rationalizing and trying to understand the perspective from one coming from because there can be varied factors that could possibly impact on one behavior and the way they act.

It was a very important day for me because I was testing for my second to last belt.i was so excited I felt I might explode !!!!!☺️☺️ It was finally time for my test master lee yelled everyone line up . They started with some exercises. Then he sent everyone to the back of the dojon and started with the white belts(the made the parents go on the mate and the kids kick them), then yellow ex.

Imagine a world with no breaks or vacation. Exhausting, right? Thomas Jefferson once said that one should determine never to be idle and that so much can be done if one is always doing. Some, like Jefferson, think we accomplish more if we are always doing something. In today's fast-paced society, time is money and money should not be wasted. Many don't completely understand inactivity due to the stigma around it being a waste. Others believe that inactivity comes in many forms and can be of great benefit. Today's society needs a better understanding of inaction, which can come in many forms such as sleeping, relaxing or simply not doing. Inaction serves a purpose by improving mental health, keeping one out of trouble, and working tirelessly

Allan (2008) defines speed as how quickly the body/ body part can be moved. Speed is very important in tennis as highlighted by Parsons (1998) who states that a tennis player on average will run 3 metres per shot and 8-12 metres per point. Another component of tennis is cardiovascular endurance which is defined by Allan (2008) as is the ability of the body to supply oxygen and nutrients to, and remove waste from, working muscles over an extended period of time. With matches being reported by Fernandez-Fernandez (2009) lasting on average 1.5hours but with a range of 1 to 5 hours it shows the importance of a good cardiovascular system. Further example to this is the John Isner -Nicolas Mahut Wimbledon Match in 2010 which lasted 11 hours. According

Meaning, when I get home from work I do not need to talk about what happened at work that day and look at my work emails on my phone Having this balance will help me progress in my leadership role by allowing me to set a more positive example for my followers. As a transformation leader, I act as a role model for my employees (Biscontini, 2016.) In addition, transformation leadership qualities are considered to learned behaviors (Flynn, 2015.) If I am unable to get a break from work in order to come in with a clear mind to make correct decisions, my employees could potentially adopt that same practice. I feel that it is imperative to have a mental break from work in order to address the performance gap of getting burned out and making rash decisions. The outcome of this theory-based recommendation will be that I will have a more positive attitude at work and my employees will mirror this behavior creating a more positive and effective work environment

Like McAulay-Gilbart, it can be stated that Tolley also uses a results-oriented approach in regards to tolerating cyber slacking, however; Tolley (2014) argues that he focuses more on a balance between employee satisfaction and performance within the realm of cyber slacking. With the inconsistent nature of the company’s work within the professional services industry, the amount of work that employees have changes frequently in volume. Because of this, there are moments in time where an internet break is deemed appropriate. Tolley (2014) argues that cyber slacking can be good for employee morale as it allows the employee to take a mental break. This is especially true due to the fact that the work requires mental efforts over physical labours. Tolley takes an integrative view towards managing others. With performance still taken in to account, he wants his employees to feel empowered and have more control over how they conduct their work.

Tennis has long been a favorite sport of mine due to the constant movement and the sense of suspension that it creates. The observer never knows what the players are going to do next with respect to where, how hard, or even how soft they will send or hit the ball. All of this movement is not just by chance however, physics is at work throughout every moment the ball is on the court.

He steps onto the court. Each step filled with enthusiasm, as though it was his very first time playing. There is a look on his face. The face of a man who has entered a completely different realm, one where the stress burdening his shoulder no longer exists. He lays his bag down on the ground, not by throwing it, but as though at some level, he respects it, as he would a person. He takes out his racquet, shakes hands with his opponent and takes his position. In his mind he thinks, “Let the life begin!”. This was the first time I witnessed a totally different side to my uncle, the tennis player side of him.
