Planning for real breaks helps me to stave off “half-working.”#academiclife https://t.co/YQjvBvNGX1— Heather Johnson (@HthrLynnJ) December 3, 2017
By “half-working,” I mean time spent, typically at my computer, when I’m neither fully working nor fully taking a break.

“Half-working” leaves me exhausted, with goals unmet, and a looming feeling of dread about what still needs to be done.

Actively staving off “half working” helps me to hold myself accountable for working during my scheduled work time. And affords me real space to not work.
