Round 1 interrupted

Your tea has joined a meeting.

The agenda now includes “any other biscuits”. Take a breath and try this round again. The kettle is still on.


Round 2 interrupted

You’ve been copied into everything.

Your inbox says “just one more thing”. Your kettle respectfully disagrees. Try this round again. Your earlier 3 cups are safe.


Round 3 interrupted

A calendar invitation got you.

Apparently, “a quick catch-up” needs seven attendees. You can still rescue your break. Your earlier 6 cups are safe.

Three rounds. Break protected.

Tea Break Champion.

9 / 9

Cups rescued from university life.

The meetings can wait. The biscuits have been informed.
You protected your break. Together, we can protect more.

A quick game of tea, timing and workplace interruptions.
