- Be strict with yourself. Set yourself work times and scheduled breaks and don't check facebook/instagram/twitter in between. I know my limit is about an hour and a half on the computer before I need to get up and move, so I make sure I have a 15 minute break whenever I need one.
- Make sure your working area is comfortable. I tend to use the sofa, and I was sent a gorgeous silk throw and pillow which make the space so much more appealing. If you work at a desk make sure it isn't too cluttered and there is lots of light.
- When you do take a break be as active as you can. Dance around to some music, do some housework or go for a run. This stops me getting so restless and makes my day even more productive.
