Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Got a minute? Smart ways to spend an unexpected break in your busy day.

Take a walk

I have added 20 pounds to my once-svelte waistline over the last two years. Tired of my own excuses, I’ve taken to walking to get my juices flowing, ideas circulating and a change of scenery that beats staring at the walls of my cubicle for hours on end. I still have 191/2 pounds to go, but I definitely feel better.
