Regular breaks are really good for us.
They support our mental and physical wellbeing, and empower us to work better and more creatively. When we’re working better, we’re happier, and when we’re happier, we work better.
You already know all this, but too often work breaks aren’t long enough, good enough or even taken at all.
interlude is here to change this by helping workers and businesses supercharge their productivity through the power of high-quality breaks.
interlude is a desktop-based digital library of high-quality breaks, each ranging from five to 30 minutes long, created for desk-based workers, wherever you’re working from.
Choose from eight specially selected categories: high-intensity workouts, yoga, stretching, meditation, affirmations, art, writing or cooking.
Designed and led by our expert creators, our breaks are split into three streams – calm, focus and energy – to help you find exactly what you need.
Because every person is different and every workday brings different needs.
"I was quite reluctant to take a break because I was feeling quite stressed having a million things to do – but I'm so glad I stopped for 10 mins to do this! I feel so much calmer after it!"
"I'll be honest, I've often felt "too busy" to take a break. But OMG they have kept me sane! They have been so great at just giving me a bit of "me time" during the day and I feel I've been a better worker because of them."
“I just did the stretch one with Charlie. Holy moly – brilliant! My chiropractor has been on at me to do this sort of thing for yonks – you're the one that's made it happen though.”
"I absolutely loved this break. Rather than spending 10 minutes scrolling on my phone, following this quick stretch routine made me feel relaxed and refreshed."

Productivity fuels businesses and people.
But the UK has been in a productivity crisis since 2008. Workers are in an unproductive state too often and for too long.
When workers are unproductive, both the personal and business impact can be huge.
Regular work breaks are an essential tool for healthy productivity, wellbeing and satisfaction at work – but not all breaks are created equal.
Here we look at eight different types of activities that are scientifically proven to be high-quality work breaks.
Always-on working is driving a worrying culture of toxic productivity. But interlude isn’t about ‘hacking’ your life.
Everyone has a list of things they need to do in a day – we simply want to help you be at your best to achieve them.
We believe true productivity is getting stuff done, feeling great while doing it and having more time and energy to do the things you love.
