🕐 The 1–2 Minute Rule: Why it's OK to Take a Short Break Between Meetings.

Let me guess—your calendar looks like this:

 🟢 Zoom call at 9:00

 🟢 Zoom call at 10:00

 🟢 Zoom call at 11:00

 No break. No breathing. Just go-go-go. 😅

That used to be me too.

I thought I had to jump from one call to the next like I was on a Formula 1 pit crew. 🏎️💨

But here’s the truth:

•  Your brain needs time to catch up.

•  You are not a robot.

•  You are a real human, and humans need 1–2 minutes to pause.

Here’s what I do now between meetings:

 🧘 I breathe—slowly, 3 times.

 👀 I look out the window or just relax my eyes.

 ☕ I drink some water or tea.

 🤔 I let my brain reset before the next meeting.

That’s it.

Just 1–2 minutes, and I feel better. I speak better. I make better decisions. Even my team notices the difference.

Why this works:

1.  In sports, athletes rest between matches.

2.  In music, singers rest their voices.

3.  In business, your mind needs the same care.

✨ So give yourself permission to pause.
