Being at work for eight to nine hours every day can be a struggle and can become completely competitive.

Most of us like to get up out of the building and take lunch elsewhere for a different scenery..

However, a lot of us are stuck, sat at our office desk or if you are a freelancer you will be stuck on your PC.

If you are looking for something different to delve into on your lunch breaks sat at your desk, take a look at a few options we have put together below:

1. Lifehacker

tips and tricks to be more productive, more organized, more efficient, and generally more informed. The “Clever Uses” category shares brilliant ideas for resolving issues you barely even knew you had, definitely one to try!

2. Design Sponge

Get ideas and ogle over pictures of pretty products and places and spaces, before and after their makeovers. If you’re short on time, you can plan your “trip” to the site by clicking on what you want to do (decorate a room, plan a meal, mix a drink, or plan a party).

3. This online pinboard compiles pictures that web-surfers have picked, annotated, and “pinned” up. Scroll through the variety of topics—Art, Food & Drink, Geek, and Weddings and Events, among others—and feast your eyes on the pretty pictures and ideas presented. A caveat: because the pictures link to external blogs and websites, this site can be a serious time sink.

4. Read about kind things people have done in the world. Things that will just make you feel good about the world, even in the midst of a really hard day at work.

5. Don't feel like reading - but would rather play games? Check out Free Rice, a highly addictive English vocabulary game where you need to answer various questions that increase in difficulty in each level.

6. Earthcam is an impressive collection of webcams around the world that let you travel from the comfort of your desk. Check out Times Square, Aquariums, Monuments and much more.

7. Overheard in the Office - This is an absolutely hilarious site where visitors submit real-world conversations they've either had or overheard where they work.
