Advice for the Entrepreneur: Lee’s List #252

How many breaks a day do you take? What do you do on those breaks? In some businesses, you take your snack and meet your co-workers in the break room at designated times. In others, you are allowed two rolling breaks a day.

You are a business owner, so you get to choose. What should we be doing on our breaks? Pick two of the following:

1. Eat a small snack and go for a walk.
2. Brew a cup of tea and read a novel.
3. Drink coffee and make notes relating to the rest of your workday.
4. Catch up on the news and your personal email.

Numbers 1 and 2 are the right answers, because 3 and 4 involve work and possibly anxiety. Take at least 2 breaks a day, and totally get away from anything that even resembles work. It will serve you well.
