Each issue we share three ways to do more in a 10-minute break. Here are breaks 16-18.

1. Take photos
   Grab your phone or camera and take photos of anything that grabs your attention. Interesting objects, an image to remember, someone you like, the view from your desk, lunch, dinner, nature, what you're wearing, something from a new angle. You may unearth a new hobby that's relaxing, rewarding and non-judgmental.


2. Track progress
   Review your to do list and compare it against your schedule. What must be done before the day is over? How much can you realistically fit into the rest of the morning/afternoon/evening? Will you find enough time to do what's important to you? Is there enough time before bed to wind down?
    
   Regular checks throughout the day and week will help with task estimation and allocation in the future and ultimately reduce feelings of failure when you review your accomplishments.


3. Clean and tidy
   A clean workspace, office or home can spark creativity, eliminate distractions, enhance focus and reduce stress. Put or throw away what you don't use daily and enjoy the extra space.
