As our world evolves into a global village, with everything
linked to everything, productivity is pushing us hard.
It is strange; as the world grows, more people would engage
into tasks that would improve productivity. However, this is not happening and
companies are decreasing their staff - especially the more creative - by their
own will or just because these people are being widespread along the globe.
The negative effect is that those who remain have to produce
more to keep the pace the department was having before. After all, less people should
not mean less production...
Add to that the fast pace a person lives in the society with
so many movies, parties, plays, Facebook posts, etc. Add to that an increasing
health and spiritual consciousness, and add to that the importance to family
and you will have a very stressing picture of people rushing around, virtually
or physically, trying to fulfill all their duties...
In United States, many companies are encouraging their
employees to take vacations. In many companies around the world, bosses are
insisting with people to take a break now and then. An editor for a very important
magazine decided to go to another country for the week-end - by himself, no
spouse and no family...
There are several researches on the topic, but the most
important point here is that those breaks we take allow us to breath and calm
our body. It is a moment to enjoy someone else's company and especially not
talking about whatever we were doing just before.
It will definitely increase productivity as we will come
with refreshing ideas and new decisions.
Do you want to be more productive?
Take a break from whatever you are doing and check the results.
