2-How to Take Microbreaks
Microbreaks can be tailored to your personality and situation. Based on the four types of microbreaks—relaxation, nutrition intake, social, and cognitive activities—here’s how you can incorporate them:
1. If you’re introverted (MBTI “I” types):
• Focus on relaxation, nutrition intake, or cognitive activities:
• Relaxation: Stretching, taking short walks, listening to music, or simply gazing out the window.
• Nutrition Intake: Having a snack or drink to satisfy hunger or thirst.
• Cognitive Activities: Reading, making personal plans, or exploring an interest online. Avoid anxiety-inducing social media and opt for enriching activities, like watching a tutorial on a hobby.
2. If you’re extroverted (MBTI “E” types):
• Engage in social activities, such as:
• Chatting with coworkers about non-work topics.
• Connecting with friends through face-to-face conversations, phone calls, texts, or social media (but choose uplifting and meaningful interactions).
Key Takeaway
Remember, taking microbreaks isn’t just about resting; it’s about working smarter. Use these moments to recharge, so you can maintain your energy and perform your best throughout the day.
Next time you feel drained at work, take a step back, choose your favorite type of microbreak, and give yourself the energy boost you deserve.

Hi guys welcome back to my work smart channel. I’d like to introduce a simple yet effective way to recharge at work, which is microbreaks.
What Are Microbreaks?
Imagine this: Jason sips his coffee while gazing out the window; Ann chats with colleagues about a movie she watched recently; Kate listens to calming music and meditates for 10 minutes. These brief, non-work activities that happen between tasks are what we call microbreaks.
Scholars describe microbreaks as falling into four categories: relaxation, nutrition intake, social, and cognitive activities (Kim et al., 2017). By taking microbreaks, employees can recover some of their energy while still in the workplace.
Why Are Microbreaks Important?
Research shows that constantly pushing yourself to meet work demands without taking breaks can lead to negative effects, such as increased blood pressure and stress. However, these effects can be mitigated with microbreaks. When you pause to engage in recovery activities like enjoying a coffee, taking a few deep breaths, or meditating for 10 minutes, you can return to your baseline performance level. Without these breaks, stress and fatigue may build up over the course of the day.
