                           Don't spend all your time at the office. Take a break.
                                 By Kim Painter, USA TODAY, April 7th, 2011
Remember the lunch hour? In a more relaxed, less plugged-in era, office workers would rise up midday to eat food at tables, gossip with co-workers, enjoy a book on a park bench or take a walk in the sun. Can it still be done, without invoking the scorn of desk-bound colleagues or enduring constant electronic interruptions? It can and should. Here are five ways to break free: 1. Give yourself permission. As the hair-color ads say, “You're worth it." Taking a break in the workday is more than an indulgence, though: It's a way of taking care of your body and mind, says Laura Stack, a time-management expert and author who blogs at theproductivitypro.com. “You have to eliminate the guilt and remind yourself that the more you take care of yourself, the better you are able to take care of others," she says. “We have to recharge our batteries. We have to refresh. It's OK." 2. Get a posse. “Indeed, many people are wishing they could just peel themselves away, but they don't have the discipline," Stack says. Thus, invite a co-worker to take daily walks with you or a group to gather for Friday lunches. Pretty soon, you'll be working in a happier place (and feeling less like a shirker and more like a leader). 3. Schedule it. Put it on your calendar and on any electronic schedule visible to co-workers. “Code yourself as 'unavailable.' Nobody has to know why," says Laura Vanderkam, author of 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think. And, if a daily hour of “me time" seems impossible right now, then commit to just one or two big breaks a week. Or schedule several 15-minute leg-stretching, mind-freeing breaks each day. Keep those appointments, and spend them in “a cone of silence," without electronic devices, Vanderkam says. 4. Apply deadline pressure. The promise of a lunch break could make for a more productive morning: “Treat it as a deadline or a game," Stack says. Pick a meaty task or two that must be finished before lunch and dive in. Plan what you'll finish in the afternoon, too. That will free your mind to enjoy the break, Vanderkam says. 5. Eat at your desk. That's right: If you can't beat them, seem to join them. If you really don't care about eating elsewhere, “pack your lunch and eat it at your desk, and save the time for something you'd rather do," whether it's going to the gym or sneaking out to your car to read, Vanderkam says. (But remember, you still have to schedule this break.) While most co-workers care less about your habits than you think they do, she says, “this has the extra advantage that you can be seen eating at your desk." . Access on April 7th, 2011. Adapted.

  • Coding oneself as unavailable means the same as assuming an untouchable stance; to close oneself off from all communication
  • “Code yourself as ‘unavailable.’ ” é algo como "programe-se para relaxar", tipo "não pertube" do MSN ou aquelas plaquinhas de porta de hotel !!!

    "e) professionals should assign periods in which they will be unreachable by their colleagues at work. "
    profissionais deviam tirar períodos em que não estão disponíveis para seus colegas de trabalho.

    The author uses the fragment “Code yourself as ‘unavailable.’ ” (lines 29-30) to mean that = O autor usa o fragmento "Codifique-se como indisponível ". (linhas 29-30) para significar que 

     

    Opção  A:  work  mates  must  learn  that  you  are  not  to  be  disturbed  at  any  time  =  colegas  de trabalho precisam saber que você não está a fim de ser perturbado em nenhum  momento. 

     

    • O  texto  não  quer  dizer  que  a  indisponibilidade  deve  ser  o tempo todo.  Apenas  em  alguns momentos. 
    • Errada. 

     

    ===

    Opção B: nobody needs to ask you why you are not at your desk at a certain hour = ninguém precisa perguntar por que você não está em sua mesa em uma determinada hora. 

     

    • Não  se  trata  de  perguntar  por  que  a  pessoa  não  está  na  mesa.  Mas  sim  de  saber  quando a pessoa está ou não disponível. 
    • Errada. 

     

    ===

    Opção C: workers should predict when their manager’s electronic schedules will not be available =  os  trabalhadores  deveriam  prever  quando  programações  eletrônicas  do  seu  gerente  não estarão disponíveis. 

     

    • Não se trata de se fazer previsões. A informação sobre disponibilidade deve está clara. 
    • Errada. 

     

    ===

    Opção D: all electronic schedules and agendas must be seen by the team members who share your office = todas as programações eletrônicas e agendas devem ser vistos pelos membros da equipe que compartilham  seu escritório. 

     

    • A assertiva expressa uma ideia que não tem nada a ver com o que diz a passagem do texto. 
    • Errada. 

    ===

    Opção  E:  professionals  should  assign  periods  in  which  they  will  be  unreachable  by  their colleagues at work = os profissionais devem designar períodos em que eles serão inacessíveis por seus colegas no trabalho. 

     

    • Code = codificar = assign = designar, atribuir 
    • Unavailable = indisponível = unreachable = inacessível 

    • A assertiva expressa exatamente o que diz o enunciado, fazendo uso de sinônimos de palavras. 
    • Esta é a opção correta.
