Life can feel like a non-stop to-do list. Meetings, emails, deadlines… it’s easy to feel drained before lunch even hits. But small, intentional pauses can transform your day. That’s where the Workday Reset comes in.



What is a Workday Reset?

A Workday Reset is a mini-break that helps you clear your mind, refocus, and refresh your energy — without leaving your desk. It’s not about taking hours; it’s about 3–10 minutes of mindful, purposeful action.



Why a Workday Reset Works


Taking micro-breaks during your day has real benefits:

  • Boosts focus: A brief pause resets your brain and helps you return to tasks with clarity.

  • Reduces stress: Even 5 minutes of stretching or deep breathing lowers tension and improves mood.

  • Improves productivity: Short breaks can prevent burnout and help you work smarter, not harder.



How to Do a Workday Reset

Here are 3 simple resets you can do at your desk:

  1. 5-Minute Desk Stretch: Roll your shoulders, stretch your neck, and take deep breaths. Focus on releasing tension.

  2. Digital Declutter: Close unnecessary tabs, organise your inbox, or delete old files. A tidy screen = a tidy mind.

  3. Mini Mindfulness Break: Look out the window, notice your surroundings, and take three slow, conscious breaths.



Make It a Habit

The best part? Workday Resets are flexible. You can do them whenever you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or distracted. Over time, these small pauses accumulate into bigger calm, focus, and energy.
