Prevent COVID Burn-Out: Best Practice #3 for Attorneys Working from Home in the Pandemic

Take mental breaks

Taking mental breaks throughout the day is a good strategy to make sure you are setting aside time to catch your breath. There are also studies that show this can actually increase your overall productivity.¹ This doesn’t have to be anything formal. You’d be amazed how much benefit you’ll get from taking a 15-minute break between client meetings. Stand up, walk around, stretch, or grab a cup of coffee. And because you’re working from home and it's easy to stay at your desk all day, try eating your lunch somewhere that’s NOT your desk!
