How to take a Break: Unwind & Unplug and Recharge for Recovery "You need to regenerate your energy. Unplugging is an emotional recharge that we all need." As much as I hate to admit it, there is hardly a minute in my day where I’m not using some form of technology. My phone is glued to my hand almost all day and when I’m not on my phone, I’m using a computer. You can’t perform at your best when you are wound up, stressed, anxious, or even tired- so taking some time away to unplug is necessary for you to be able to perform and produce big results. Awareness: Importance of Unplugging and Unwinding A study by LinkedIn found that 70% of professionals don’t fully unplug from work. A recent study of 1,400 information workers commissioned by Microsoft found that 40% of people work outside of regular hours in a way that interferes with family time.
In the relentless hustle of modern life, it’s easy to overlook one crucial component of sustained success: recovery. As highlighted in the latest episode of The Daily Mastermind, unplugging and recharging are not just beneficial—they’re essential.
The journey to success is smoother when you love what you do. Passion fuels productivity and creates a harmonious balance between work and life. When the lines between work and fun blur, it becomes easier to enjoy the process and maintain the energy needed for success. Loving your work makes it easier to recover and disconnect when necessary. It ensures your passion doesn’t become a source of burnout but instead a pathway to growth.
In a world where technology is ever-present, taking time to disconnect is vital for emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Studies back this up:
LinkedIn found that 70% of professionals never fully unplug from work. A Microsoft study of 1,400 information workers revealed that 40% work outside regular hours, affecting family time and personal well-being.
These statistics underscore the importance of intentional recovery. Recovery isn’t a sign of weakness but a strategy for enhanced productivity, much like how athletes prioritize rest to perform at their best. Without it, burnout becomes inevitable, and the quality of your output suffers.
