I have been trying to take at least an hour, every day, away from my desk. I do this by scheduling myself a three hour break in the day — which guarantees me an hour. (Don’t ask questions, just go with it.)
But my breaks generally look like this:
– Play a couple of words in WWF.
– Play a couple of lives in Candy Crush.
– Read a chapter of my book.
– Fold a load of laundry and put away four loads of laundry.
– Move a load of laundry from the washer tot he dryer and start another load of laundry.
– Clean the dead leftovers out of the fridge, load the dishwasher and start the dishwasher.
– Answer three emails.
If I’m really lucky, I’ll also squeeze a shower into that hour break.
At the end of that hour, it doesn’t really seem like I’ve had a break … ya know?
I think I might be doing this wrong?
I generally do much better on the days when I run on my work break. The other days… I kind of don’t really know what to DO on my break. Which means I don’t really do anything. Or I don’t really take a break.
Maybe we need better any.do lists.
Your breaks look a lot like my breaks.

Are we the same person…..?
Just proof that a woman’s work is never done. Even on break.
Hmmm. Maybe a 5 minute break every hour to do one of those things and THEN a one hour break (for a nap!).
I second the idea of napping. Napping always wins.
