But that work now, play later mentality can backfire.
Another study found that taking two short breaks a day can lead tomaking more informed decisions.
Meanwhile, when you regularly work all day without taking a break, it can actuallylead to brain fog.
Okay, so breaks are good.
But it still doesnt answer the question of how best to take a mental break from work.

To find out, I asked neurologist andBrain WashauthorDavid Perlmutter, MDwhathedoes to avoid mental fatigue.
Hey, if its good enough for a brain expert, its good enough for everyone else, right?
Aerobic exercise
This is something Dr. Perlmutter does daily, though exactly when varies from day to day.
Its also linked to actually thinking quicker, too.
In non-science speak, this refers to keeping neurons in the brain alive and functioning properly.
Playing music
Consider this a more out-there brain break idea.
I keep a guitar right next to my desk in the office, Dr. Perlmutter says.
Take it from a brain expert: Mental breaks from work dont have to be extravagant or long.
It can be as simple as stepping away from your box and going through a five minute stretch sesh.
That short break can actually lead to working better and faster.
And it doesnt take that much brain power to recognize that thats a double win.
