Take your Breaks and Lunch too!
Millions of people in today's workforce are entitled to two breaks and a lunch period every day. Yet, too many people forego this important work benefit. I think too many of them feel they are too busy to get away or that their boss wouldn't approve. Well, here's Tracy on her soapbox for a moment, very strongly encouraging you to take your breaks and lunches away from your workstation. Your brain needs a break! Even if it's too stubborn to see it!
Get up, leave your work space, get some fresh air. Eat something healthy to refuel you for the rest of the day. Taking even a short break will help you gain new perspective and enable you to re-focus upon your return.
When I was a student worker in college, our office secretary would get up from her desk at 10:15am and 3:15pm to take a 15 minute walk with a friend of hers across campus. She always came back smiling. I've remembered that action for well over 20 years. I know that taking those breaks was her way of keeping her sanity in an otherwise crazy environment.
You deserve a break!
