We all need a break sometimes, including at work. Taking a break can be a great opportunity to recharge your batteries and ensure you’re refreshed before you take on your next big assignment. After all, no one can be on all the time, working at 100% capacity. With that in mind, we’ve compiled this list of things you can do when you take a break at work.
Play Casual Games on Your Phone
Casual games are a great way to spend a few moments while taking a break at work. There are many free games online, including puzzles and casino games. These games are usually designed to be played in short bursts, making them perfect for those times when you don’t have much time.
The best games allow you to escape everything for a few moments. Whether you’re trying to get past a level on Candy Crush or trying to uncover the saboteur in Among Us, these titles let you disconnect, however briefly, something many of us need during the work day.
Enjoy the Great Outdoors
While you probably won’t have enough time to go for a scenic walk hike during a break at work, you can at least get outside for a few moments to breathe in some fresh hair. Getting outside is especially important if you have a desk job because it allows you to get up and stretch your legs.
Plus, you’ll have to walk a little to get from your desk to your outdoor destination. Going for a walk is good for your health and can help put you in a better mood. It can also be a great stress reliever, get your blood circulating, and help increase your Vitamin D levels.

While walking can be a complete workout, if you have a workout routine you typically follow, you may want to do it during a break at work. You don’t need to go to the gym to get in a good workout; your body is enough.
Bodyweight exercises like Push-ups, planks, and lunges are among the best activities you can do during a break at work. You can look for an empty conference room and take a few minutes to perform these exercises. A 15 to 30-minute routine is enough to get in a full workout, and you’re sure to feel better afterward.
Read a Book
Like games, books are an excellent way to disconnect and get away from it all. Whether you prefer ebooks or paperbacks, bring your favorite stories with you to work. We recommend choosing books that’ll allow you to think about something other than your job.
You could choose something inspirational that’ll motivate you to improve some aspect of your life you’ve wanted to change. If you want to escape to another world, fiction books are a great choice.
Call a Friend
Sometimes you need to talk to someone who gets you; when that happens, your best friends are just a phone call away. If you need to talk about something that you don’t feel comfortable talking about with a colleague, take a few minutes to reach out to your friend network for advice. You could even coordinate your breaks with friends to ensure they’re available.
