Just follow these tips for a caffeine-free work day:
参考以下建议，轻松度过无咖啡的一天。
1. Strut your stuff. Studies show that taking a 20-minute walk can boost your energy levels and decrease fatigue. Low-impact exercise seems better than higher impact exercise for fatigue levels, so you don't have to be a power walker to see benefits. Another plus is people who exercise tend to sleep better (and not at work!).
让你自己动起来。研究显示，散步20分钟可以提神、减少疲劳。对于缓解疲劳来说，低冲击运动比激烈运动要好，所以你不必要进行很强烈的运动。另外，运动的人睡眠质量也更好（而且也不会发生在工作时睡觉的情况）。
How: Just put on some comfy shoes and take a decent-paced walk! Only 20 minutes should rev up your energy levels.
方法：穿一双舒服的鞋子，体面地去散步。20分钟就会让你更有精神。
2. Involve your ears. Listening to music while you work can help keep you awake and increase your concentration levels, experts say.
让你的耳朵动起来。专家说听音乐可以让你保持清醒、让你集中。
How: Pop on some comfy headphones -- nothing with speakers if you work with other people -- and see what kind of music works best for your productivity. For some people it's Bach. For others it's Lady Gaga. It's a highly individual thing, and can even vary for you depending on the task at hand.
方法：准备一个戴上去很舒服的耳机，如果你和其他人在一起共事的话就不要戴扬声器，然后去发掘看看哪种音乐最能够提高你的工作效率。对有些人来说巴赫的乐曲能够提高效率，而对其他人来说则是Lady Gaga。这在很大程度上是由个人决定的，而且也会根据你手头上正在进行的工作而不同。
3. Give your eyes a break. If you don't take breaks from your computer you can end up with headaches, tired and sore eyes -- and fatigue. A brief, well-timed eye break can keep your eyes happy.
让你的眼睛休息一下。如果你一直用电脑不休息的话，你最后可能会患上头痛、疲劳、眼睛痛等从而导致过度疲倦。在适当的时机让你的眼睛休息一下下才会对眼睛更好。
