KWA's TIP FOR THE DAY #8 - THINGS TO DO ON YOUR COFFEE BREAK

So, you're sitting at your desk and staring at your computer and you find yourself scrolling through an endless series of useless PDF files, all of which appear menacingly similar.  Your coworker is sniffling away with a cold in the cubicle next to yours.  Lunch or quitting time is just too far off to be of significance.  You need to get out of the office for a few minutes and take in some fresh air.  You need a coffee break!

As you thrust your way out of the office, like a blind, drooling and panicked zombie, you realize that you are a business person (...and a multi-tasking business person at that!) and that getting a coffee just isn't enough.  To feel satisfied, you need to accomplish something else on your break and here are a number of things you can do to make your 15 minute diversion feel productive.

While on your coffee break, why not:

1.  Call your stockbroker and place a buy order?


2.  Call and break up with a lover?


3.  Find the hat store around the corner and try on a cowboy hat?


4.  Find a patch of grass and sit in it?


5.  Scan the headlines at a newspaper stand?


6.  Surf the web on your phone?


7.  Write a short poem?


8.  Think about what you're going to do next month?


9.  Email on old high school friend?


10.  Strike up a conversation with a stranger?

Good luck!
