Take a screen break

These days many of us spend all day in front of a screen. Then, tired from work, we spend all evening in front of a screen. On the commute between work and home, we frequently spend our time staring at a very small screen.

Whether or not this is unhealthy is a matter of debate. But it can certainly get a bit boring. To get you out of your tech-based rut, here are 10 challenges designed to bring out the man in each and every one of us.

Well, that's entirely up to you, but we figure by day three you'll be bored enough to come up with some exciting and creative alternatives.
