Bring a Tumbler

Bringing a tumbler will allow you to stand when you need to fill it up. While filling it up, take time to walk around for a bit. Get some fresh air and do not ever ask someone to fill it up for you. Stand up and go fill your tumbler.

Don’t Eat at Your Desk

Aside from the mess and dirt, eating at your desk will only make you lazy. Get up and eat with your co-workers. Rejuvenate and get some fresh air outside the corners of the office.
