I work office hours. So I enter the office from early morning and only leave when the sun had set! That took place regularly from Monday to Saturday. I'm just at home on Sunday.
Yesterday, I got a job to go out to meet a partner company. Sunlight and the wind was really interesting. I feel completely refreshed.
Upon returning to the company, I was pretty tired. Anyhow, long long out of the office a little is a good thing. I really fans the companies which may allow their employees a period of approximately 1 to 2 hours per week so that they can do what they want during working hours.

Going out in the office once in a while could relieve us from work at the office.
Last Friday I went out for a lunch meeting with a client that took more than 2 hours.It is refreshing to go out in the office for a while and relieve the boredom of being in the office the whole time of work.

Sitting in office everyday sometimes make me feel boredom. So, going out office a bit is interesting. But if we must go out much, we'll feel tired, right?

hi t here tkonlinevn,
Wow i never thought i would read about some other people about this i also do this, before when i used to work in an office i would take my lunch break to go outside see people and vehicles passing by and feel the wind on my face and see birds, fly over my head it is very refreshing and very nice to the feeling I just hope that I could also do it with my current work but because of the location there is no trees or birds flying over pretty dull place for that sort of thing unwinding simply like that ive mentioned..

I have only 1 hours for lunch break. After lunch, I take a nap. I can't work on noon if I don't have a nap :) So, I don't go outside on lunch break. But I think your idea is well. Maybe I'll spend about 10 to 20 minutes to go outside everyday.

I think it is important for us to take the time out to come out in the open. My office hours are from early morning 7:30 to around 4:30 in the evening. So when I leave on time, the sunlight is very much there and gives me enough time to spend some fruitful hours with my family.
Cheers!

good day tkonlinevn,
indeed, going outside the office is very interesting. as this will truly gives you a refreshing and new ideas to think off. as it likes going outside the box of knowledge that you are just working routinely. as working in an office will somehow put your knowledge inside the box since it is being done regularly. aside from that, your body and mind will just get exhausted easily as you will not feel the need to study, explore more knowledge and learn. since you get used to the daily task and get tired of doing it everyday, the effect is, you will just stay and get rest at home on the nearest weekend to come. thus, this is the reason why you find going out of the office is interesting.

You're right. My body and mind get exhausted. I feel tired day by day. So, going out is exciting and interesting.

Our company allows us to go out the company if we have some personal errands to attend to - like paying bills, buying grocery items, etc. as the company is result-oriented rather than attendance-based.. Of course, as a good employee, I don't abuse such benefit since only few companies are letting their employees go outside the company during office hours... During lunch time, even though we have our own canteen/cafeteria, we often go to the nearby mall.. We get to choose a variety of food and do malling. I really feel great working in my company!

It's great! My company don't have any the same. If we want to go out for any private reason, we'll be deducted salary !

Hi, takonlinevn. i agree with what you have said. go outside is really exciting, especially after a long long period of staying in house. i still remember that there is a long time i stayed inside, and oneday i steped out, in the moment, i clearly felt my entire soul was sublimated, you know the feeling, it's diffcult to describe with certain words. and i also think that regular outside walking is good for job.
