 Need a little break from the stresses of the typical work day? Here are some tips to "help" you out (all in good fun, of course). :)

1) Accident-Free Commute to Work: One of the toughest parts of the day can be the commute to work, especially if you’re making your way to the office via a crowded highway full of people all trying to get to their desks on-time as well. A solution for a more peaceful and accident-free drive? This handy little “Drivemocion” lets other drivers know how you’re feeling. Thank them for letting you into a lane, say sorry if you stop short, flash someone a smiley face – it’s all good! You’ll be happier, and so will the drivers around you…In theory. Just try not to abuse your newfound power. “Well, I know I ran that red light, but my car winked at you as I cut you off, so I think that solves everything.”

2) Clean Work Space: We all know it’s hard to get anything done with a cluttered and messy workspace, so to help alleviate that issue, pull out your handy dandy mini-vacuum. It plugs right into your USB port, and is perfect for sucking up various crumbs and dust that has accumulated at your desk throughout the day. With a tidier desk, you’ll feel more relaxed and ready to tackle the day’s work!

3) Mmmm, Lunch: An important part of a productive day is eating a healthy lunch. If you brown bag it, one of the perils of working in an office can be putting your lunch in the office fridge…only to have someone else who didn’t bring their lunch (or who thinks your lunch looks much more appetizing than their’s) stealthily steal it out of the fridge. The solution? Putting your delicious sandwich in a baggie with “mold” on it – after all, who wants to eat a moldy sandwich? You and your stomach are set.

 4) Well-rested: Another essential part of productivity is being well-rested. Unfortunately, due to the chaos of everyday life, a good night’s rest isn’t always in the cards. So, here’s what you do: Take a quick 15 minute catnap to re-energize under your desk! To this, you might complain about the floor being too hard or uncomfortable. Not the case when you whip out your wearable sleeping bag! Now you’re good to go.

5) Easy Button to the Rescue: With the four tips listed above, you’ve been having a stress-free day until 4 p.m. rolls around and suddenly you’re swamped with work. No worries – pull out your easy button, you have it for a reason. Just give it a quick punch and you’ll be saying “That was easy!” in no time. After all, the buttons work just like they do in the Staples commercials…Right?
