Three reasons to relax this holiday season

Many businesses, especially startups, feel guilty, when the "arrival" of a vacation weekends and holidays, because every weekend - this is the day when the job is done, but the problems - resolved. However, exhausting work without breaks is not as useful as it might seem, and rest is needed not only for the personal well-being a businessman, but also for the well-being of the company.

Almost all people adore the weekend. Holidays in the company? Paid holiday? Cool, give two. But for entrepreneurs constantly working without rest and holidays - is the norm.

It seems that missed day will cost the company too much, but in the end it turns out the opposite picture - lack of rest is bad for the entrepreneur abilities, its creative possibilities and new ideas.

This topic is particularly relevant on the eve of New Year holidays, and for all the business can be called at least three good reasons to give yourself a well-deserved rest.

1. Breaks increase productivity

What you need to work at their best? Attention and energy, and no one person can not keep them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

If you give yourself time to rest or change the type of activity (recreation, hobbies), you return to work full of energy, which means - more productive than ever.

These data are confirmed by research: in countries where it is assumed to take vacation every year, employees are more productive during working hours.

It is better to sit back and do more for 5-6 hours, than plow without weekends and have modest results.

2. Rest is necessary for creativity

You ever been so that you all day long struggled with the problem and the solution suddenly came to you in the evening in the shower? This is not surprising. Dopamine - is the key to creativity and pleasant events and relaxation provide elevated levels of this hormone.

In other words, leaving their daily cares and problems, to swim in the ocean or climb the mountains, you can cause a lot of inspiration and come up with new solutions.

If you do not have time (or resources) at a posh vacation, arrange a relaxing day-spa, Participate in a marathon or cook a pizza, in general, concern yourself with the relaxing and brings you pleasure.

3. The best time to find

If you are running a retail business or finance, this option does not work, but if your business comes to something else, the New Year's holidays - is the best time to take a break.

At this time, many people go to other cities to friends and relatives, and even if you do not leave, they do not hang out in the office, and not celebrate. On New Year's holidays the office is almost impossible to get employees, and so it is difficult to work. So, do not torment yourself, and use the rest for his own pleasure.

Allow yourself to "be" a few days: Walk away from the computer, turn off the smart phone, do not reply to e-mail.

Just give yourself time for a good rest, and then you will meet 2014 with motivation, vivacity and creative energy that is so necessary to your startup.
