It’s hard to stay focused day in and day out. But sometimes all we need is a bit of change to reinvigorate our minds. Ok, ok, so we can’t all fly to Fiji and enjoy the ocean breeze for a day. But there are little things we can do to incorporate a change of scenery into our work day. Here are our favorites:
- After lunch, work from the company cafeteria for an hour.
- Try an exercise ball or a standing desk for a day.
- Add a new plant or dim light to your desktop.
- Bring your laptop to a foyer, lobby, or another seating area at work.
- Switch desks with a coworker for an afternoon.
- Encourage holding your next meeting at an off-site location.
- If the weather is nice, head outside to a bench or table.
- Work from home for a day.
- Invest in some quality headphones and try a new soundtrack for your work day.
- Clean up your desk space so it’s free from clutter.
