Take Five

Indonesian translation: pertimbangkan kembali

Social Sciences - Human Resources
English term or phrase: Take Five
This phrase means 'take a five minute break', normally used in a performance, eg. "The singer took five during the concert last night".

But what I am looking for is in human resource field, about work safe. The full sentence is:
"when you are in doubt, stop and take five to.......
1) assess the situation
2) identify the issue......."

What is the best equivalent of the 'take five' in this sentence in Indonesian? I understand that the 'take five' in this sentence may not even mean 'take five minutes break', so I don't think I can translate it as 'jika Anda ragu, stop dan istirahat 5 menit'.
I think, the 'Take 5' in this sentence is more like a phrase which means stop, step back and re-consider.

Thanks in advance.

take five
tunggu sebentar


Explanation:
Expression 'take five' is informal; padanan should also be informal. The sense is 'hang on', 'wait a minute', 'stop for a minute', etc. I think 'tunggu sebentar' will adequately express the intent.

Example sentence(s):
  • "Tunggu sebentar, pikirkan dulu keuntungannya...,bagaimana kalau sekretaris pribadi?
  • Aku tahu apa yang Anda pikirkan "Tunggu sebentar..

take five
luangkan waktu


Explanation:
Just as Chris wrote, usually we translate take five as take a five minute break. But according to the full sentence she provided, we can translate take five as luangkan waktu, so her full sentence will become something like this :
ketika Anda ragu-ragu, berhentilah sejenak dan luangkan waktu untuk :
1. menilai situasi yang ada
2. mengidentifikasi permasalahan .....
