OK — so you might think this is crazy. But from time to time you need to actually stop working, get up from your computer and stretch. I am not talking about procrastinating — I am talking about taking a break. Case in point: Jason Van Orden from Internet Business Mastery actually sets a timer to remind him. After 50 minutes or so, he takes a break to stretch.
It’s normal to get bored with work and to want to do something different. It's also true that sitting in front of your computer too much will lead to health problems. It's what Nicole Dean calls “computer butt.” You can solve all that simply by working periodic exercise and stretching into your routine.
Personally, I like the idea of taking a walk. It’s a good way to unwind, get some physical exercise, and distance yourself from your work in a healthy way. Take your iPod and listen to your favorite internet business podcast. By the time you return, you’ll be refreshed and ready to get things done. It also gives you some time to think — which might lead to that killer new idea you've been waiting for.
Bottom line — get some exercise in short bursts throughout your workday and you will like the results.
