![]() ![]() Intrigued by two competing narratives - one focused on working more as an indicator of performance and the other on having regular respites to protect well-being - as well as mixed (and sometimes even conflicting) findings of individual studies on these topics, our team conducted a systematic review of existing research on workplace breaks. Pausing work rather than pushing through might help with both aspects. What can we do to address our declining well-being while maintaining performance? ![]() Alarmingly, both high burnout and low engagement rates are associated with hindered performance. Engagement has taken the opposite turn and is declining among the U.S. More than half of employees (59%) report feeling burnout according to a recent survey from Aflac. For example, the “daily routines of CEOs” often include things like waking up at 4 am, working on the weekend, and even being “ strategic about how often you go to the bathroom.” To tackle an ever-increasing workload, many workers choose to grind through, skip lunch, and stay after hours.īut the cost of being always-on (and doing it well!) is high. And not surprisingly, the popular literature is rife with advice on how to maximize work time. It seems intuitive that the more time we spend on job tasks, the more we can get done. ![]() If you’d like to get a taste of both the chocolate and the ice creams at the chain that inspired it, we recommend buying the chocolates first, as each multi-pack comes with a 50-yen discount coupon that can be used at 31 until 30 April next year.For many of us, being productive means spending more time working. This shake blends the chain’s chocolate mint ice cream with milk and tops it with whipped cream, chocolate sauce and one of the new KitKat fingers for a very minty experience.Īll the new 31 products go on sale from 1 June while stocks last, while the KitKats, sold in packs of 10 for 540 yen, will be in stores nationwide from 5 June, also in limited numbers. Mint-loving customers are taken care of with the Frozen Shake Chocolate Mint Made with KitKat (570 yen). The Collaboration Sundae Made with KitKat (550 yen) adds a mini chocolate KitKat and a mini wholewheat KitKat to a small-sized ice cream of your choice, with a whipped cream, chocolate sauce and shaved chocolate topping. The Happy Breaktime Made with KitKat may not contain any mint, but it does contain a blend of two types of chocolate ice cream - dark and milk - along with crunchy KitKat pieces, all for 390 yen (US$2.79). This new collaboration swings both ways, because over at 31 there’ll be some special limited-edition KitKat items on the menu for the first time ever. It’s not just the flavour but the appearance of the ice cream that’s replicated in this new chocolate, and Nestlé says it tastes even better after being kept in the freezer, when it becomes crunchier and cooler. Inspired by 31’s Chocolate Mint ice cream, which won first place in the chain’s “ Party Contest Flavour General Election” last year, this new chocolate inserts cocoa-flavoured cream inside the wafers and wraps it all up in in mint ice cream-flavoured chocolate for a refreshing taste. ![]() What makes this particular flavour so exciting is the fact that it’s a tie up with ice cream chain Baskin Robbins, or “ 31” as it’s known in Japan. Now that the weather is heating up, it’s time for choc mint products to make their triumphant return to stores again, and one that we’re particularly keen to try is the new Kit Kat Chocolate Mint Ice Cream. This tie-up collaboration swings both ways, with new KitKat items at the ice cream chain for a limited time as well.Ĭhoc mint products have become synonymous with summer in Japan, when the cooling sensation of the herb helps to provide some relief from the humidity, with a side of sweetness to boot. ![]()
