Discussion on: What kind of breaks do you take at work ?

I work from home at the moment so I just end up cleaning my apartment or do a quick grocery shop run. When I was in the offices I'd always try to get a 15 mins "walking coffee" (tea is fine too!) scheduled with some colleague ~3-4pm in the afternoon.

My schedule would be:

  • Get in at 9/9:30am, work until 12:30 and then go off to lunch for 30-45 mins. Never eat at the office (It helps when you work in LA and it's always sunny outside!). During lunch break find somebody who wants to go grab coffee later to discuss some project or whatever else. You'll find that a lot of other people feel like you about taking breaks :)
  • Work from 1pm to whenever coffee is scheduled for.
  • Do a small walking meeting to the coffee shop and back.
  • Wrap up the day and go home.
