Questions & Answers about Когда я делаю паузу в работе, моё любимое хобби — смотреть старые записи наших встреч.
In everyday Russian:
- делать паузу = to pause; to take a pause
- делать перерыв = to take a break (a bit more standard for breaks in work/study)
- брать паузу is used too, but more often in figurative contexts (e.g. relationships, projects: “take some time off from something”).
All three can be understood here. The author just chose делаю паузу, which sounds natural and a bit more literal (“I make a pause”). For a work context, делаю перерыв в работе is probably the most common phrase, but делаю паузу в работе is fine and idiomatic.
