As someone who definitely needs to do little mind breaks during her workday, I absolutely love things on my desk. Call them distractions if you’d like, but to be able to work for 8+ hours a day without getting up or doing something to relax your mind is not possible for most people. It’s important to find things that will help you destress and distract you so that you can return to your work with a new set of eyes. So, because I’m a huge fan of desk things, here are some desk toys and gadgets that will help you find ways to take a break from your work.  

  • 1) Tabletop Cornhole

    This might not be a game you can play by yourself, but if you a work buddy that also needs some break time it can be good for both of you. Maybe this will even encourage a work table cornhole league, who knows?! In my opinion, this is a more fun version of cornhole because it features catapults. I mean, come on that’s brilliant.
