5 Simple Five-Minute Activities to Increase Focus and Energy After Lunch
Activities anyone can do at home or at work to help beat the afternoon slump
The fantastic thing about working from home is the ability to experiment with many things to take a break from work. When I was working from the office, I had limited options: I could go for a walk, maybe head over to a local coffee shop, chat with a co-worker. Working from home, I can:
- Take a nap
- Work out with kettlebells
- Go for a run on the treadmill
- Eat a fruit or a snack
- Watch random YouTube clips
- Find a book from my library that fancies me and read
- Make myself a coffee or tea (choosing from my selection and not having to pay for it)
- Re-organize the home
- Throw out something I own on my path to minimalism
At the very least, I think you can see that my options for taking a break while working from home are much better than working at the office. And so that’s what I did, I experimented with all the above and more, to see what helped my energy and what helped me get through that afternoon slump we face from a solid lunch.
