Because we call Shonda Rhimes our boss, we're pretty much inspired all of the time. But even though we work with the ultimate badass, like all humans, we still occasionally need a motivating boost to get us through the afternoon slump. That's why this playlist of three-minute TED Talks is the perfect pick-me-up for when you're feeling worn out and need some inspiration (or when want to watch a TED Talk but you don't have time to watch Shonda's). It’s a collection of quick bits of wisdom, life hacks, and research delivered by the impressive speakers and experts we've come to expect from TED. Depending on how you want to spend your break, you can travel to one of Saturn's moons, look through the lens of a storm chaser, or take in a story told through emoticons. If your day is so packed that even three minutes feels like an indulgence, watch a talk on why you should take a walking meeting or how to set and achieve goals. Your brain — and your team — will thank you for it.
