Lunch break is the most awaited and cherished one hour at work. But as much we all love it, the question is do we make the best use of these sixty minutes? Well, of the 8-9 hours at work, this one hour is completely our. It's up to us how we spend it. Five better (might not be best) ways to use up the lunch break:

1. Pack your lunch: Get the lunch packed from home, and have it at your desk when you are sorting out your mails or doing some such light work. You would be done in about 10-15 minutes, and technically because you were working in parallel, you have your full one hour break still.

2. Go out for a walk: Just get out of the office, and take a walk outside in the sun (if the weather is good that is). You can just go to a close by bookstore, and checkout some new arrivals. Or do some window shopping, if you are a shopping freak like me. The best part is, it would clear up your mind, and you come back to work rejuvenated.

3. Ask your boyfriend/girlfriend to join you for lunch: You think only candlelight dinners are romantic? This suddenly planned lunch at a small cafe can work its magic; especially when time is of most essence.

4. Go out for a quick bite: And when you are back you would have a good 40-45 minutes in your hand. Browse the net, write a blog post(if you are a blogger), read your favorite comics online, or check some news sites to find out whats happening around the world.... just anything in the Internet that interests you.

5. Take a short nap: this might sound funny, but trust me, a 15-20 minutes nap after lunch and you definitely would get back to work all energized. If your desk is too public a place for it, your car in the parking lot could be the second best choice. I have seen people doing it, never tried myself though. But it's got to be effective; sleep being the best energizer in my opinion and of course many others.

So make the best use of your Lunch break. You owe yourself those 60 minutes... 3600 seconds of luxury, and it's definitely not worth wasting.
