Do You Have a Proper Break?
by For those living in the UK, I hope you remember this TV Advert: “Have a Break, Have a Kit Kat”. Well, that sums up my article.
I used to be guilty of not having a Proper Lunch break at work. The organisation I worked for then allowed up to 60 – 90 minutes, but I would just have half an hour because but it was calculated on a time sheet and meant I could go home early or get paid for excess hours worked in the week – Not a wise idea, it only made me Lethargic.
Try to get away from your computer at your Lunch break, unlike my friend in the above photo. A good 45 minutes or 1 hour break will:
a) Obviously nourish you.
b) Refresh you / Renewed energy to work.
c) Make you alert less tired or irritable by the end of the day.
d) Switch on a light bulb in your head. If you had a challenge before break time, chances are that you will come up with a solution after a good break.
** Ps. Try to Avoid Big meals and alcohol – They just make you sleepy when you are back at you desk.
If you eat at your desk, chances are:
1) Someone would have an unnecessary conversation with you.
2) Your phone would ring. It would be something Urgent and you would not be able to ask them to call back. You have to take immediate action.
3) It could bring on a Migraine. Prolonged use of Computers without a good break can do this.
So, have a break from your Computer.

very good advice. i always used to go to the ktichen for my lunch and wash my hands 2-3 times thoroughly, because i found out that the average office desk has more germs than a toilet seat. this is a great article with helpful tips on do’s and don’ts. thanks for sharing.

LadyE…this is some great advice for those of us who tend to be workoholics…when I had a regular job I was guilty of not taking adequate breaks but looking back I realize nobody gave a damn that I was hurting myself so it slowly started to sink in…you owe it to yourself first…Readers – do as the Lady says Take your proper break…even if it is long enough to vote that you like this like I did…thanks and take care
