2. Stand up. Studies show that sitting all day is bad for your health, even if you’re active outside the office. To give your brain an oxygen boost (and refresh your creativity) be sure to stand up at least once an hour. Stretch, briefly chat up a coworker, or take a quick loop around the office to get the blood flowing. Having trouble remembering to take standing breaks? Set an alarm.

3. Sleep. A good night’s sleep is crucial to proper brain function, and studies suggest that getting less than six hours of sleep per night can raise your cortisol levels, making you more stressed out. Additionally, sleep deprivation will put a damper on your mental performance, and make even the easiest of tasks—like a 15 minute progress meeting or lunch with a client—seem difficult.
4. Play – While scientists are still determining whether mental games (hello, weekly crosswords!) can boost your brain function, it has been shown that letting loose and shaking off stress will allow you to better focus when you return to business as usual. So make the most of your time off; power-down your smartphone and enjoy a playdate with family or friends. When you do return to the office, you will focus better than if you spent your weekend worrying about work.
