I'd like to add that walking around the office - even mindlessly - for a few minutes is amazingly more effective than sitting for some multiple as long doing a mindless diversion if you're already a desk worker. Just getting the blood flowing a bit and letting your mind focus on coordinating the balance and movement can really help clear away the fatigue. Doing it outside around the block is even better, and you annoy fewer colleagues.
