3、n the afternoon can maximize your productivity.制定计划。不要因为午休是自由时间就去浪费它。无论你身处何地，身在何时，时间是一种不可再生资源。试着最大限度地利用你的午休时间来制定一个好计划。你还需要为午休后的活动做一下安排。想一想下午的时候要如何安排工作的先后顺序，这样有利于你最大地提高效率。Take a real break.Breaking from work for 60 seconds to chow down your lunch at your desk doesnt count. In order to get a period of

4、 true respite, the time has to involve an actual break from work. Try not to check your e-mail, bring work with you or talk about work during lunch.真正地休息。只花60秒钟在办公桌上狼吞虎咽下你的午餐并不是真正地休息。要想真正地获得喘息，你就需要确实地离开工作一段时间。不要去查看你的电子邮件，不要随身携带工作，也不要在吃午饭时聊工作。Get up from your desk or work space.Staying at your desk i

Dont try to be a hero and starve yourself for the sake of being a hard worker or checking off another “to-do” item. Youll pay for it later when you cant concentrate and throw your body off balance.吃东西。不要想着当英雄，把饿着肚子努力

If you have a favorite place or a particular food you enjoy make sure to go and enjoy it at least once a week. You only live once.享受食物

8、。午饭时间就是要吃午饭。在午饭时间就吃点自己喜欢吃的食物。如果你有特别喜欢的餐馆或者食物，那就去享受这些你喜欢的食物吧，至少每周去吃一次，毕竟人生不会重来。Do what you cant do in the morning or evening.

9、 cant be handled before or after work.做那些早晚无法去做的事情。一些琐事，比如去邮局或去银行，这些事必须要在工作时间才能去做。战略性地在午休时间安排这些事情，把无法在上班前或下班后去做的事情放到午休时间来做。Use the time to connect with someone new. Our workplace interactions can be so fleeting that we really never actually get to know the people we spend most of our days with. When

10、 you dont really know those you interact with its easy to dehumanize them and take them for granted. Take some time to get out of the office, grab a sit down lunch, and get to know your co-workers.去结识新朋友。工作中的交流都是来去匆匆，所以我们很少有机会真正地认识工作中的伙伴。当你无法真正了解你的同事时，你就很容易忽视他们的感情并认为这样是理所当然的。花点时间走出办公室，找个地方坐下来吃顿午饭，好好

11、认识一下你的同事。Catch up with old friends. If you have a friend who works nearby, try to meet him or her during lunch occasionally. Remember, your personal life needs tending to just as much as your work-life, so be sure to take the spare time you have and use it to fulfill your personal needs. Your midday

12、 break is a good opportunity to catch up and socialize, in person or by phonebut dont lose track of time, and dont treat it like happy hour.与老朋友叙旧。如果你有个朋友在附近工作，那么就试着在午休时间联系一下对方。记住，个人生活和工作一样也需要时时维护。所以，要留出一点时间，并好好利用这些时间来满足你的个人需要。你的午休时间是与老朋友叙叙旧、唠唠嗑的好机会，见面也好，打电话也行。但是不要忘了时间，别把午休时间的小聚当成是下班后的欢乐时光。Have a sy

13、stem for dealing with your absence.This will allow people inside and outside the company to know when you will be back, how to contact you in an emergency or have an alternative point of contact. It may also help you relax and avoid obsessively checking your e-mail during lunch.自己不在时要做好安排。这样公司内外的人就会

14、知道你什么时候回来，有紧急事件时要怎么联系你或者去联系谁。这样做也能帮助你放松下来，避免在午休时间还要查看邮件。Engage in activities that will help you re-energize.Take a walk outside, visit the gym or meditate. Get out and do something that will make you feel better about yourself. A quick dose of sunlight and fresh air is the perfect elixir for the mid

15、day blues.参与一些有助于你恢复精力的活动。外出散步，去健身房或者做冥想。到室外去，并做一些能够让你感觉更好的事情。晒晒太阳，呼吸一下新鲜空气都是驱散午间烦闷的理想方法。Network. Even if youre perfectly happy in your job, and youre not looking for a new one, it cant hurt to continuously build and maintain your professional network. This is critical to success in any line of work

16、.维护人际网。即使你对现在的工作百分百地满意，你也不想换工作，那也不妨碍你继续去建立和维护你的职场人际网。无论你的工作是什么，职场人际网都是成功的关键因素。Dont get stuck in a routine.Many of us are creatures of habit. Maybe you go to the same pizzeria everyday or eat with the same colleague. You might always use your lunch break to run errands or make personal calls. Try to

17、mix things up in order to clear your head and boost your energy.不要陷入常规。我们大多数人都会习惯成自然。也许你每天都会去同一家披萨店或者和同一个同事一起吃饭。也许你常常会利用午休时间去做些琐事或者打些私人电话。试着变换些花样，让你的头脑更清晰，让你的精力更充沛。Avoid all screens.Try to stay away from your iPhone, iPad, Blackberry and computer. Give your eyes a break. Most office jobs require you

18、 to stare at a screen all dayso try to avoid that during lunch.If you cant help it for whatever reason (maybe you want to shop online or e-mail a friend), get up from your desk so your body perceives this as a true break.远离所有的屏幕。试着远离你的手机、平板电脑和电脑屏幕。让你的眼睛休息一下。大多数办公室的工作都会要求一整天盯着电脑屏幕，所以在午休的时候就想办法离开一下屏幕吧

19、。如果你无论如何也要坐在屏幕前，比如要网购或者要发邮件给朋友，那么就站起来，这样你的身体才能真正感到休息。Dont take too long or too short of a break.If youre allotted an hour for lunch, take it. Maybe not every day, but when you can, use the full sixty minutes to get out, eat, exercise your mind or body, catch up with an old friend or a colleague and/

20、or tackle items on your personal agenda.However, if everyone else in the office takes shorter breaks, follow suit so you dont stand out.休息时间不要太长或太短。如果你有一个小时的午休时间，那就好好利用。即使不能每天都这么做，一旦有机会，就把这整整60分钟的时间好好地用来出去走走，吃吃东西，锻炼深陷，与老友或同事聊聊天，或者处理一下私事。但是，如果办公室里的其他人午休时间都不长，那么你也要随大流，不然就会显得太不合群了。英“名人爸爸”诊所提供名人匿名捐精服务捐精
