A graphic by CharityComms titled 'Three productivity hacks' The third tip reads: Give up (temporarily) - We’re not machines. Sometimes you’re just not going to get any productive work done, so don’t fight it. Give up and do something else for ten minutes: chat to a colleague, send an email, or go on your phone. Wait until your state of mind changes and then return and have another go.
