Are you a fan of taking breaks? Me too. But how do you keep yourself from taking a break that’s way too long?

Recently, though, a client’s love of music helped inspire this new time management idea.

Check out the video, or read the summary below. Will this anti-boring idea work for you?

You also want them to all end on the same motivational or energizing song so that you feel motivated to get back to work.
