BrainBreak - Executive Function Recovery

How it helps

Use it for a focused task

A practical tool and guide to help students and professionals choose breaks that restore the brain rather than further exhaust it. Select the type of work you just finished, pick how much time you have, and start your recommended break.

It prevents the common mistake of 'resting' by using the exact same neural pathways you just used for work (e.g., stopping a spreadsheet to scroll social media). This does not replace medical advice or address severe chronic burnout.

It is meant for daily task management. Why do I feel more tired after a break?
