4. Listen to music

5. Read an article

6. Check out the mortgage news

7. Reply to just one email

8. Clear the clutter

9. Plan tomorrow

10. Doodle

Let's take a quick look at each of these...

Have a glass of water In the past, we would all be staring at a glass of water in a meeting. But now, with so many online, people don't really drink during a virtual call. Drinking water is the easiest way to stay healthy. If you become dehydrated, your energy levels drop. So go grab a glass of water. Stretch Those Legs After water, moving is the next most important thing you can do. It's good for the blood flow and helps general wellbeing. So stand up, move and go for a quick walk before that 3pm meeting begins.

Speak To Someone If you are in the office with that 15 minutes to use, why not have a quick chat with someone. You never know, it might just make their day. Listen To Music For me, music energises me. It may not be the same for all, but just take the time to recharge with that glass of water and your favourite song. Maybe one you can dance to, to keep you moving.
