Get out! That’s this week’s Monday tip.

I try to take an hour lunch break each day and GET OUT OF THE OFFICE. Fresh air, walk, lunch, chat, sunshine (if weather permits) etc. It’s a good way to get to know your work colleagues and I think it really helps in reducing stress.
I often find that I have a clearer head when I return to my work hence increased productivity. It’s a simple suggestion but I think that there are a lot of people who just work through lunch and eat at their desk. You could pick someone new to have lunch with each Monday!
Yes! Some fresh air, some scenery and some physical activity. What’s not to like. Thanks for the tip, Sarah!
The Chief Happiness Officer’s Monday tips are simple, easy, fun things you can do to make yourself and others happy at work and get the work-week off to a great start. Something everyone can do in five minutes, tops. When you try it, write a comment here to tell me how it went.
That’s right. I also do those things and it makes me ready and revitalized for work, particularly if there is some serious task ahead. I make sure that I have some time off before engaging in some strenuous work so that it will flow continuously
Nice tip. That’s one of the high lights of my day. I don’t know why some workers don’t even try to have a lunch break. It’s like they are afraid of loosing the momentum in working. They don’t know that they are just making their body suffer more from stress.
I agree – flow is nice, but sometimes you gotta break the flow and reboot your mind.
Great tip
