My Favorite Way to Take a Break:

My favorite way to take a break is by sipping coffee ☕ I usually drink 2-3 cups during my work hours.

I like to step away from my desk for a few minutes, enjoy my coffee, soak up some sunlight ☀️, and get a breath of fresh air before returning to work. This helps me feel refreshed, energized, and better able to stay focused on my tasks 😊

Now it’s your turn! ⬇️

My preffered break is taking my coffee outside to the garden and just zone out for a few minutes before going back and continue working

Gabriel Stangl-Riehle

My preferred break is an episode or two of jeopardy.

Anna Giacobbe

Whether I'm working from home or working from the office, I'll make a cup of coffee or tea to-go and take a quick walk outside - obviously weather permitting! Even if it's a quick zip around the block or a bit of a longer stroll (time permitting), it feels good to take a break from the screen and move as I'm seated at my desk all day!

David Simmington

Mine is almost always a quick walk outside, no matter how hot or cold the weather is. At home, I'll take the dog for a lap around the neighborhood. At the office, I'll walk around the downtown city blocks or head to the trail on the Mississippi River waterfront.

Fabio Bartolini

My preferred break is a cup of tea or coffee (at half of my working day) 🍵☕️

Shelly Erickson

I work on hybrid schedule, so at home, I love stepping outside and watering my garden. At work, I love jumping in my car and driving across to the small airport to watch the planes fly out and sometimes take a cat nap.

Kirsten Gross

A little afternoon iced tea blend or maybe a walk around the neighborhood if it is nice

I’m definitely part of the “coffee + fresh air” crowd ☕😄

My favorite break is stepping outside for a few minutes, especially if the weather’s nice. Sitting in the sun helps me recharge and clear my head before jumping back into work. It’s such a simple reset, but it makes a huge difference in staying focused throughout the day!

Going for a quick walk outside for some fresh air

Sherrie Besecker

If I'm not petting a cat 🐈️(one of 11) - then I am probably going to Zumba💃!

Kaden

My favorite way to take a break is to take a nap or play the piano!

Iris van Enck

Going for a walk since the weather is nice 🌞

Devree Czupinski

I definitely enjoy my coffee in the morning and optional tea in the afternoon! Other breaks include moving around/stretching a bit and reading a few pages in a good book!

Stella Lowe

Taking time for stretching and 30 minutes on the elliptical - recharge midafternoon.

Nikos Taskos

Prepare my coffee, walk around the house, stretch and look outside :D

Jeffrey Bond

Get out of the office and walk, and (kind of embarrassing) play Pokémon….

Brian Bulthuis

My preferred break is getting outside and soaking up some sunlight. The fresh air always gives me that second wind I need to finish the day strong :)

Mark Hemmis

Take a walk! I am trying to do a over 3 million steps again this year.

Tom Halbert

Go for a walk or if WFH - hang out with the kids a little to enjoy their freedom and innocence.

Jessica Kvanvig

A walk outside when the weather is decent, an episode of People's Court or a few minutes of puzzling.

John_Egleston

A water bottle refill gets in a few steps, lets me ruminate on something, and maybe (if not WFH) I'll get to greet a neighbor.

Amy Hunter

When I'm working in the office I love to walk a few laps around campus (I work at a University). If I can't get outside another type of break I like is coming here to Wrike Stars or the community - gives my brain a shift from what I was working on.

Paula Barrientos

My favorite way to take a break is going for a short walk and getting some fresh air. It helps me reset, clear my mind, and come back with a fresh perspective—especially when I’m stuck on something.

Ben Thomas

I take a nice walk and try to find a new coffee place I haven't tried before

Cheyenne Randall

I enjoy taking some time to walk around my garden and admire the various vegetables and flowers we have growing.

Ali Moses

I love to take a short walk. Just getting outside resets my brain.

Therese Forsyth

My favorite mid day break is to go on a walk through my garden and focus on all the little, growing things.

Kat Riddler

My favorite way to break up the day is to take a small walk. It can be inside or outside. My dog of course really enjoys outside more. 🤭🐕️

Kendra Ciszczon

I love taking breaks to pet my dogs when I am at my home office or chat with a coworker in the breakroom when in the office building. Taking a short break to just disconnect my brain from work is essential for me to keep focused when I am at my desk.

Daisy Hibbard

I listen to a fantasy audiobook during my lunch break to get transported to another world for a little while.
