Go Outside

If you’ve been cooped up inside for too long, put down the pen and papers and head outside for some fresh air. Getting outside and taking a deep breath while enjoying the sunshine can help you go back to work feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the rest of the tax paperwork. So, whether you simply step onto your porch or sit on a nearby bench, spend some time outside to reset yourself before heading back in.

Grab a Mental Break

With today’s technology making it incredibly easy to take care of preparing and filing your taxes from your computer, you need to step away from the screen for a mental break every now and again. Whether or not you go outside, simply standing up or finding a book or magazine to read for a little bit is all you need in order to be able to face the tax forms again. Find something that’ll let your brain have a moment to relax and take a breather before heading back to the computer to finish.
