‘What is so artistic behind this??? Do you take a break from eating, sleep or refreshing up??? Then why taking a break from work???'...

Well, I would say, this kind of a thought process is not motivating towards work all the time... now, taking a break may not really refer to abscond from work as such... it could be a day to day breaks during working hours that give you a much needed breathing space or taking a day’s off from work as well... know more further...

When you’re taking a break, you’re clearing your head. You want to be just abandoning work, which is why I suggest using a timer. So set a timer for five minutes, 10, 15 minutes, however long you want to take a break. The timer is watching the time, you are not watching the time. You’re not stressed about time. The timer will tell you when it’s time to go back to work.

You just leave work behind; and I would suggest, very strongly, that you get away from the computer. If you really want to have a break and rest your mind, go read a book, go for a walk, get outside, go make yourself something to eat. Get away from the computer. The worst kind of break is when you flip over to a website and you just start wandering over the internet.

The problem with that kind of break is A: it doesn’t really rest you; you don’t really come back with any more rest from that and B: the problem is that you can turn a little oh, I’ll just check this website and it’s two hours later and you’re thinking where did my time go? I got nothing done. It’s the break that suddenly took over your day. Now it’s ruined your day.

So, use a timer and get away from the computer. Stand up and get away from the computer!
If you are taking a day’s off...

Organize things and bring work to a logical stopping point. Make sure your associates are up to speed and can handle certain responsibilities while you're away.

Cut the cord. Disengage from your workplace as much as possible. When practical, keep the monitoring of e-mail and phone messages to a minimum and set ground rules for when you need to be contacted.

Take it easy. Don't run your vacation like your job, by trying to cram museums and other sites into a daily to-do list that only exhausts you.
