What do you do to take a break from work or study?
Hey friends!
So I found myself struggling today to think of activities to break up my work time. I had a full day of coding today and my eyes were really struggling, plus I got super restless.
I have been spending my breaks sitting down on my phone which isn't giving either my eyes or body a break but I am trying to avoid leaving the lab on shorter breaks.
What do you do to wind down on your breaks?

Hey @peacelovepizza,
I love to go outside on short walks as a way to destress and relax on a break. Even just sitting outside and getting some sun would help after being stuck in the lab all day! 🙂
I close my eyes, put my headphones on and listen to something soothing or sometimes I even go for a walk outside.
Hey @peacelovepizza,
Such an important thread! I cannot even imagine spending a full day coding!
I think @scared01's suggestion of stretching during those break that you can't leave the lab is a great one! Getting the body moving a little may help with that restless feeling and give you a break from the screen.
Whenever I take breaks (especially if I've been using a computer for a while), I try and get out in the sun and get moving. If you can't leave the lab though, is running on the spot or doing some star jumps an option?
firstly its nice to meet you and this is a great thread as i find to take a break im on electronics too.
As you meantioned not leaving the lab perhaps doing some stretches would be good? or you could do a finda-word or 2 during a break?
