To feel and perform at our best, we must prioritize rest as highly as we do our other responsibilities. Neglecting to do so can create a vicious cycle of exhaustion, overwhelm, and burnout. Cognitive neuroscientist and leadership expert Dr. Sahar Yousef offers knowledge workers a proven framework for building rest into our daly lives in order to improve our resilience and performance at work. The 3M Framework prescribes taking breaks in three ways to help us restore and recharge from mental overload: 🗓 "Macro breaks" for at least one half-day per month ⏳ "Meso breaks" for at least one hour per week ⏱ "Micro breaks" for a few minutes several times per day Dr. Yousef teaches leaders how to leverage the 3M Framework, among other best practices for performance and wellness, in the self-paced ExecOnline program, "Achieving Peak Productivity," developed in partnership with UC Berkeley Executive Education. #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealth #burnout #wellness
