“Take a 5-minute break every 30 to 45 minutes. You can stretch your back, walk around, drink some water. You take your nose out of your work. When you come back to your desk, you might have new ideas. Or, you might think: ‘What am I doing?’ And stop it before you waste all your time.” Darius Foroux, Author.
