Daniel Pink, author of When, recommends pre-scheduling your breaks throughout the day. He goes on to suggest that giving the breaks an agenda is useful.

Example of Scheduled Breaks

• 10am - walk a lap around the building
• 12pm - go make coffee
• 12:50pm - do 5 minutes of office yoga
• 1:30pm - go talk with someone from another department about their kid
• 3pm - walk a lap around the build in the other direction
