Are you sitting at your desk?
How long has it been since you got up and moved?
I work from home and spend a lot of time sitting at my desk, using the computer and talking on the phone.
I now have a new rule …
At least every hour, I get up and walk. It’s good to take a break.
- I look at things further away than the computer.
- I get my blood circulating.
- I add to the steps I take every day. 10,000 is a good target.
- I don’t think about work while I walk.
- Or I can think and plan about work or anything else while I walk.
- I do something else – anything else – like vacuum, cook or play with the cat.
When I get back to my desk, I’m ready to work again. Even though I’ve taken breaks, I get more done during the day. There’s something about walking that clears my brain and lets me focus.
