I was just remarking to a colleague today how beneficial a lunchtime walk really is. The walk provided: 1. Fresh air 2. Exercise 3. A chance for the eyes to change focal range from the fixed distance of the shitty monitors work provides. 4. A chance to take a brief phone call from a recruitment agent to discuss a better job 5. A chance meeting of an old colleague I had not seen for nearly twenty years as he also took a walk. 6. I was away from the desk when the boss had a crappy task so someone else had to do it. 7. I found a new coffee shop I will revisit 8. I solved a long running problem by being able to walk and think 9. I am sure the stress levels were reduced!
