its better to eat chocolate and be merry than to love and it taste sour after you tasted it!

Break time

pnorton — Fri, 02 May 2008 09:47:14 -0700

I keep a cup of coffee on my desk. When it's empty, I walk to the kitchen for another cup!

If I'm stressed I may go outside for a few minutes. I also find that prayer/meditation helps!

Do anything that will clear your mind. Sometimes a fresh look at the problem will reveal its' solution.

Yeah Walk

walk around

walk around is the quickest way to get a break without loosing your concentration and context of the work.

and usually i walk around after every 30 mins or so.

That looks really useful

Get some exercise at gym or take dog the for a walk. Exercise and air do a body good...I feel most other things can take place before and/or after work.
Lunch and coffee are for whimps. Meals during the day should be short, sweet and don't really require a major exodus from tasks at hand.

I think a small food break is the best option.

friendship is like smile.

browse the web

tkroll — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 09:45:48 -0700

I generally just browse the web. There are a few sites that I visit on a regular basis and a few browser-based games I play to relax. Usually only takes about 15 mintues to do them all, then it's back to work!
