Work Life Balance

A Little Break for Your Brain

Work life balance is very important. Taking a break with your brain is very important too. So you can set how many puzzles you'd like to complete before going back to work — a small, beautiful pause, then right back to it with a clearer head.

How long is your break?

3 puzzles is a proper little vacay.

Benefits of doing puzzles

  • Stress relief & relaxation: Shifts the brain into a meditative state, lowering heart rate and cortisol.

  • Improves cognitive function: Strengthens memory, focus and problem-solving, and promotes neuroplasticity.

  • Mindfulness & flow: Anchors you in the present, reducing rumination and anxious thoughts.

  • Slows cognitive decline: Builds cognitive reserve, potentially delaying dementia and Alzheimer's symptoms.

  • Builds resilience & patience: Teaches emotional regulation and a growth mindset through healthy frustration.

  • Social connection: Fosters bonding and communication, and eases loneliness when done with others.

  • Boosts mood & dopamine: Small wins trigger dopamine release, improving mood and motivation.
