Modern software engineering is a highly collaborative process that requires both social awareness and technical skill. These things combine to make breaks particularly important, but despite our best efforts it's easier said than done. I'll cover some research on break taking; strategies I've used to make breaks more effective, and specific examples around taking breaks in pair and mob programming situations. Be prepared to take a break during the talk. Creative work is mentally taxing, and software development is no exception.
