You Become More Productive
Taking a break to talk to a friend can increase your productivity, scientists say. In 2008, researchers from MIT studied what they call “water cooler chatter.” When coworkers took a break to chat with another person, they became more productive when they returned to work.
Of course, this only works if you get along with your fellow students or coworkers. Research from Personnel Psychology noted that mood change matters. After socializing, people may feel happier, which improves their work. If you’re working with friends, don’t be afraid to take a break.
