For me the key to a good break is to get out of the office and go for a brisk walk. I don’t quite understand why anyone would want to stay in the office and continue to gaze at the screen regardless of whether they are updating their social media accounts.

I would go stir crazy!

Get some air in your lungs, soak up the vitamin-D, encourage the production of white blood cells – and get some distance from your work. When you get back to the desk you will feel energised and able to consider your work anew.
