Meet local business people. The next time you visit a local vendor, perhaps to mail a package or to pick up business cards, learn the names of the people who work there and find out something about them. Establishing relationships with other professionals in your area can break up your day s monotony and can make daily errands more enjoyable. Get a pet. While animals are certainly not a substitute for humans, a pet in the office can help infuse your day with fun.
Animals help beat stress and are good walking partners, too.
