Recently, we came across an article on Forbes.com that listed 16 things You Should Do On Your Lunch Break. These are practical and useful ideas to help you be more productive throughout the day including lunch. Some of our favorites were:
* Take a real break – sometimes we can’t take the time to enjoy meal and to step away from the projects we have facing after our lunch break. We spend the entire lunch talking about work or maybe we eat fast at our desk so we can get back to the projects. From time to time, it’s good to simply take a real break.
* Do what you can’t do in the morning or evening – let’s be honest, we’re all busy. Whether its taking care of family, playing in the softball league, preparing for the weekend getaway at the lake or whatever keeps you busy – we all have to stuff to get done before or after work. But sometimes work runs late or another meeting gets in the way, so take advantage of your lunch time and knock out that to-do list.
* Engage in activities that will help you re-energize – Some offices have on-site workout facilities and some have a local gym right around the corner so there’s no excuse not to have a place to work out. Of course, weather permitting, even taking a stroll around the lake or the local mall would help give you the energy you need to finish the day.
