Take an active break to improve your focus! The Student Health Service and the Library share tips on how to take an active break. Put down your computer, book, or group project and try something from our "Pausa" menu. Regular breaks are vital for well-being and performance. A short break every half hour makes us more alert and increases our concentration.

Bead, knit, crochet, carve, cut and paste, build with Lego, fold origami, and make a fortune teller with materials you have at home.

Put on your favourite song and dance!

Take a short walk around the block. Fresh air and daylight energise you.
