It is easy to get carried away when you are involved in learning. This may be at school or university or maybe in a job. This is especially true if you enjoy what you are learning about as you may not mind spending your own time delving in to books and swatting up on the subject matter.

This is a great way to boost your education, but also you must ensure you have regular breaks. Not only should you be taking breaks roughly every 4 hours to allow your mind to switch off for a bit, but it is also good to take a few days or a week away from work completely. This down time will allow you to release any stress and also you often find when returning to learning after a break, you can pick things up better and quicker.

When taking a lunch break, try and move away from your desk as it is very easy to start to get back in to work or get dragged in to a conversation with a colleague not giving you that switch off time.
