Short breaks and clear pre‑meeting intentions can be useful, but only if you track the impact. Add a timer for breathing exercises, record the time spent, then compare pre‑ and post‑break task completion rates or error counts. For meeting intentions, write the goal on a sticky note, then log the meeting duration and outcomes. Use those data points to calculate any productivity gains. If the numbers show improvement, roll the practice out. If not, tweak or drop it. That’s the only way it fits a data‑driven workflow.
