How to: Make Your Work Day Go Faster!
There’s nothing worse than being bored. Sometimes we just need those sneaky distractions to get us through! Read below our favourite ways (read: life hacks) to make your work day go faster!
Social media
Everybody loves a cheeky scroll, and a 2 minute Instagram stalk or chuckle at a couple of memes will definitely put you in a better mood. It’ll also give your overworking brain a rest! You might even come back to a task with some new inspiration!
Check the office snack supply
An office must always be well-filled with goodies and snacks galore! Otherwise… what’s the point?! We want chocolate, tea and biscuits always! First step, check supplies. Second step, volunteer to do a snack run if supplies are low. (Also a great way to make sure your favourite are stocked.)
Perfect your office beverage
Most offices are filled with coffee machines and all kind of crazy kitchen gadgets. Hit up the kitchen with whatever syrups, sweeteners, and garnishes you can find to perfect your 3:00 PM beverage!
Revisit why you love your job
(PS: if you don’t, that’s a different story!) Take a minute to list the reasons why you took your current job and what you love about your position – the results may surprise you.
Start a great podcast
Headphone etiquette at work is tricky, but once you find that sweet spot you can fill your ears with plenty! There are so many great podcasts that will definitely help time fly.
Enjoy the fleeting moments of downtime, we all have deadlines to go back to at some point!

Frequently asked questions
Small breaks help the day move more quickly, such as a short scroll on social media, a quick chat, or a few minutes away from your screen. A change of task or a good podcast can also reset your focus. Keeping the office stocked with snacks and a favourite afternoon drink gives you something to look forward to.
Why do short breaks help productivity at work?Short breaks give your brain a rest, which can improve focus and mood when you return to a task. Stepping away briefly often helps you come back with fresh ideas or a clearer head. The key is keeping breaks short so they recharge you rather than pull you off track for too long.
What snacks are good to keep in the office?Easy office favourites include chocolate, biscuits, tea and coffee, plus a few savoury options for variety. Keeping a shared snack supply topped up helps morale and gives the team a reason to gather. A gourmet snack or treat hamper is a simple way to restock the office kitchen in one go.
How can I boost morale in the office on a slow day?A slow day is a good time for a shared treat, a coffee run, or a quick team activity to lift the mood. Surprising the team with snacks or a hamper to share can break up a quiet afternoon. Hampers With Bite offers gourmet sharing hampers that are easy to enjoy together in the office.
Are gift hampers a good idea for the workplace?Yes, hampers work well in the workplace as a shared treat, a thank-you, or a pick-me-up on a quiet day. A sharing hamper of snacks and sweets gives the whole team something to enjoy together. Hampers With Bite has a range of gourmet and sharing hampers suited to office settings.
What are simple ways to take a break without leaving your desk?You can rest your eyes for a moment, make a fresh drink, listen to a podcast, or simply stretch at your desk. These small pauses help reset your focus without a long interruption. Having a treat on hand, such as something from a shared office hamper, makes the break feel more rewarding.
How can I thank colleagues who keep the office running?A shared gourmet hamper is a thoughtful way to thank colleagues, whether for restocking the kitchen or supporting the team through a busy patch. It is easy to share and feels more personal than a generic gift. Every Hampers With Bite order includes a free personalised gift card so you can add a thank-you message.
