When you are at work, do you take your breaks?

One of the reasons I really like being self-employed is that when I worked in big corporations - and I worked in some of the Fortune 500 companies... I never had a chance to take breaks. And most of the time I was working extra hours with no overtime because I was "on salary". So now, as my own boss, if I feel like taking a break, I do. And no, I do not charge my clients for my breaks. LOL

When I worked of others, I never took a break. Now I am self employed and I don't take breaks. Guess you can call me a work ahoholic.

Hi! When I worked outside the home, I always took my breaks. Now that I work from home, I don't really think of it in those terms. Besides, when I get up from the computer, it's usually to do housework, so I guess that's not really a break.

I take a long break at 12.30, when I go home to have lunch and I come back at 14.00. During the morning and the afternoon I usually don't take breaks: if I'm doing a long work and I am fully concentrated I don't "remember" to take breaks :) Other times I do diversified works, so that one work is like a break relatively to another work.

My job is a residential setting and we pretty much dont have breaks we get paid for the whole shift.We pretty much can break as many times as we want.

I work at home so yeah i take breaks when ever i want :)

I work through them because taking a break destroys my work rythm

of course i be taking my breaks, a girl gotta eat.

We have a tv room, i go in there.

Breaks? LOL We don't get any where I work, sure would be nice though. ;)

I take my breaks. Breaks are important and keep your mind fresh.

If I worked outside of the home, I would tell ya, but for now....let's just say I am a Mommy. Period.

Not at all..I take every break that is given to me :) If I work through my break due to a conference call, I make sure afterwards I take it...

I work for a nursing agency so I don't really get breaks! When I had jobs where Breaks were given,I almost always took the breaks .With all the hours that people work,those breaks are quite deserved.

Help easier to find if you plan ahead. Find a children or seniors program in your area that can provide you with a few hours of down time and locate someone to help with the laundry and cleaning at least once a week. If money is an issue, it may be possible to exchange these services with a friend or neighbor.
