"Generally speaking, I am the type of person who is very happy to work independently at my desk for hours at a time. I find numbers and metrics and stats to be fascinating, and I really enjoy when I'm given a large dataset to work on. The reality of this type of job, however, is that I spend hours at a time looking at data on a computer screen. Like anyone, sometimes I need a break. If this happens, I'll take a quick walk outside or a five-minute break in the kitchen while I eat a healthy snack. I also take advantage of my lunchbreak to chat with others and take my mind off the problem I'm solving. These occasional, quick breaks throughout the day give my eyes and brain a rest and allow me to come back to the data with a fresh new outlook."
