Remember cassette tapes. If you would play it on continuously, after a point it would just pause or play in fast forward making squeaky sounds. So you would have to take it out, insert a pencil in one of the holes and rewind it a bit and it would play smoothly again. 

Well, we all need this rewinding... rather UNWINDING from time to time. 

That's why we have weekday - weekend concept. 
That's why we have annual leaves. 
That's why travel and tourism exists.
That's why Netflix and Chill. 
That's why the whole F&B industry, because who doesn't need a drink and a friendly banter every once in a while. 
 
Call it breaking the monotony or clearing the clutter or rearranging your thoughts or a break... you need it. 
Whether is work, family, relationships... anything. 

If you are someone who takes too many breaks, you might think of taking a break from taking breaks and stick to some routine for a while. 

It only makes things better. 

Just stop for a bit, breathe... inhale... exhale. Stop thinking about what happened, what will happen and even what is happening right now. Take a moment from even being in the present, just stop. Silence, no noise, nothing.. Just shut up. 

And after a few moments, go back to the chaos. From where I see, it's the only way to deal with this clockwork-like life. We can't stop, so let's find some loopholes in the system and take a pause.
