Ways to Take a
30 Minute Break
Whether you’re in the mood for something relaxing or something motivating, half an hour
can go a long way! There are endless ways to take a 30 minute break.
Consider these ideas:
25
Richard Butler Presents:
1. Go for a walk or run.
Get some exercise and enjoy yourself in
the process.

2. Write a letter.
Sit down and write a letter the old-
fashioned way. 



Maybe you can write to a friend or relative
you haven’t talked to in a while. You can
even write to someone who has passed
away if you’re feeling lonely or nostalgic. 

3. Make plans.
Take the time to look at your goals and
map out a way to reach them. 

4. Talk to a friend.
Enjoy some time cultivating your
relationships.

5. Spend time on a social
networking website.
If your friends aren’t close by, you can
connect with them online.

6. Go out for a meal.
Grab a bite at a restaurant as a special
treat.

7. Daydream
Daydreaming isn’t wasted time if you’re
enjoying yourself! 



After all, it’s your 30 minute break!

8. Run an errand.
You might save yourself added stress
later if you take care of an errand during
your half hour break. 

Decide on one change you’d like to make
in your life. It can be big or small. Research
some ideas for making the change and
take at least one step in your new direction.

9. Make a change.
10. Call a family
Make a phone call to a family member
who might like to hear from you. 

11. Listen to music.
Remember when you were a teenager
and you’d just listen to your favorite
music for an hour or more, uninterrupted
by life? Grab your computer or music
player and relax to some tunes.

12. Play a game.
Enjoy a game on the internet, your TV, or
even on your cell phone.
13. Budget your time.
Plan the rest of your day. Budget your
time wisely and you may get some more
30 minute breaks! 

14. Enjoy nature.
Go outside and appreciate nature. 

15. Exercise.
There are exercises you can do without
needing to go to the gym. Jumping jacks,
pushups, and sit ups can get you started.
16. Meditate.
A 30 minute session is a great place to
start. If that seems too long to you, try ten
or fifteen minutes, then fill the other time
with one of the other suggestions here.

17. Take a nap.
If you’re particularly tired, try taking a nap.
Although we may loathe naps as children,
as adults they’re a great form of self-care.

18. Watch TV.
Escape with one of your favorite TV
shows. 

19. Try something new.
Decide on something you’d like to try and
follow through. 

20. Make a “bucket list.”
Create a list of things you’d like to do in
the near future and one for a longer-term
goal. 

21. Review your finances.
Make a new budget or revise the one you
currently have. 



Investigate ways to pare down your
expenses so that you have more money
to save or to put toward that vacation
you’ve been planning.

22. Read a book.
Maybe there’s a new book out from your
favorite author. Or you could re-read one
of your old favorites.

23. Organize something.
Find something you can organize better,
whether it’s a drawer, shelf, or your
bathroom vanity. 

24. Work on a craft.
Start a new project or finish an old one. 

25. Take a bath.
It’s a great choice if you’re feeling
especially stressed out. Add relaxing
aromatherapy with some scented
candles.
Reflection
There are so many wonderful ways to use
30 minutes that you’ve set aside for
yourself. In just this short period of time,
you can really enrich your life!

25 tips for taking a break!

  • 1. Ways to Take a 30 Minute Break Whether you’re in the mood for something relaxing or something motivating, half an hour can go a long way! There are endless ways to take a 30 minute break. Consider these ideas: 25 Richard Butler Presents:
  • 2. 1. Go for a walk or run. Get some exercise and enjoy yourself in the process.

  • 3. 2. Write a letter. Sit down and write a letter the old- fashioned way. 
 
 Maybe you can write to a friend or relative you haven’t talked to in a while. You can even write to someone who has passed away if you’re feeling lonely or nostalgic. 

  • 4. 3. Make plans. Take the time to look at your goals and map out a way to reach them. 

  • 5. 4. Talk to a friend. Enjoy some time cultivating your relationships.

  • 6. 5. Spend time on a social networking website. If your friends aren’t close by, you can connect with them online.

  • 7. 6. Go out for a meal. Grab a bite at a restaurant as a special treat.

  • 8. 7. Daydream Daydreaming isn’t wasted time if you’re enjoying yourself! 
 
 After all, it’s your 30 minute break!

  • 9. 8. Run an errand. You might save yourself added stress later if you take care of an errand during your half hour break. 

  • 10. Decide on one change you’d like to make in your life. It can be big or small. Research some ideas for making the change and take at least one step in your new direction.
 9. Make a change.
  • 11. 10. Call a family Make a phone call to a family member who might like to hear from you. 

  • 12. 11. Listen to music. Remember when you were a teenager and you’d just listen to your favorite music for an hour or more, uninterrupted by life? Grab your computer or music player and relax to some tunes.

  • 13. 12. Play a game. Enjoy a game on the internet, your TV, or even on your cell phone.
  • 14. 13. Budget your time. Plan the rest of your day. Budget your time wisely and you may get some more 30 minute breaks! 

  • 15. 14. Enjoy nature. Go outside and appreciate nature.

  • 18. 17. Take a nap. If you’re particularly tired, try taking a nap. Although we may loathe naps as children, as adults they’re a great form of self-care.

  • 19. 18. Watch TV. Escape with one of your favorite TV shows. 

  • 20. 19. Try something new. Decide on something you’d like to try and follow through.
