Looking for a screen-free microbreak at work?
An average person spends about 7.5 hours in front of a screen on any given workday.
It's becoming harder to disconnect at work, even when we want to.
Dopamine-driven feedback loops keep us glued to our screens, craving the next hit of stimulation.
Being “Always On” leads to cognitive overload and reduced attention span.
BreaksWork is all about giving you the time and space in the office to:
01
Unplug
from all your digital devices.
02
Connect
to our guided headphone immersion.
03
Reset
and feel the shift within minutes.
We are not another
app though
Our Screen-Free breaks are
all about:
Immersive headphone experience

Breath shapes the brain
Breathing doesn’t just follow the brain’s commands. It influences them. Conscious breathing leads to measurable changes in brain activity in areas linked to attention, emotion, and self-awareness.
BreaksWork sessions bring this knowledge to practice: Improving oxygen flow, posture, and nervous system balance.

About BreaksWork
Hi, I’m Seb – founder of BreaksWork.
After nearly 15 years working in EU public affairs for some of the world’s biggest tech companies, I realised how much we all need time away from screens to actually thrive at work.
While still working from home, I discovered breath awareness (breathwork) as a powerful way to reset - either to get activated or to calm down - depending what I needed at that moment. But when I was later required to return to the office, I found there was no time or space to continue this practice.
BreaksWork was born from that gap to help office workers take screen-free microbreaks that boost focus, creativity, and wellbeing - all in under 15 minutes.
The goal of our sessions is simple: give busy office people the time and space to take a screen-free break (while enjoying it!).
