We all need to take breaks to recharge. While it’s good to take breaks from the various screens we spend out days connected to, sometimes you just can’t step away from your device. Fortunately you can take a break and get the same benefits even when you can’t completely disconnect. Here are some suggestions for ways to take a break without unplugging:
- Try an on-screen workout class.
- Listen to an audiobook or podcast while finishing a chore, or read an article or book on your phone.
- Call or FaceTime a friend, or even spend some time texting someone you haven’t chatted with in a while.
- Play a game. Research suggests that casual video gaming during a work break can reduce perceptions of stress. So yes, you can refresh and sharpen your brain with a little midday Words with Friends.
