Go outside and get some fresh air! It’s something our parents told us to do as kids, and it could be just what the doctor ordered for a workforce that spends most of the day sitting and staring at screens. One way to do it: Get out of that stuffy fluorescent-lit conference room, get on your feet, and take that work meeting into the great outdoors.

Walking meetings provide a chance to add bonus exercise (and steps, to those of you who are counting!) to your work day. And if you can do them outside, even better. Exposure to nature is a great way to get a head-clearing, stress-busting mental boost, as well.
