Working from home sounds like the most ideal scenario ever, but it turns out to be very difficult to do in a truly relaxing way if we don’t make sure our day has some structure.

What do I mean by that? Well, you need to make sure you start and finish at set times, get dressed and not stay in your pajamas, take proper meal breaks, and give your brain the space it needs to breathe every now and then.

Of course, there are many ways to do this. You could take a walk around the block at the beginning and end of each day. You could set an alarm for 12:30, which will remind you to go cook something to eat and sit for a while in a different room. Or you could rely on regularly scheduled Netflix breaks to lure you away from your home office (which is kind of like taking your laptop to bed with you).

Oh yes, Netflix reigns supreme when it comes to improving a busy day, and there are plenty of shorter options to feel good. And, because I want to add some joy to your life, I found all those sitcoms, cartoons and comedies that have episodes of 30 minutes or less.

  • Big Mouth

Even for a cartoon character, adolescence is not easy. Andrew learns this firsthand as he experiences the nightmare of growing up in this adult animated series. And, with each hilarious episode clocking in at around 26 minutes, it’s perfect for lunchtime laughs.

  • Never Have I Ever

It’s a high school coming-of-age comedy about teenage girl Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) who wants to lose her virginity to popular swim team captain Paxton Hall-Yoshida (Darren Barnet). But it’s also about grief, friendship, sexuality, motherhood, grandmotherhood, love, sex, and more. I could go on, but I suggest you see it for yourself.

Average duration of episodes: 25 minutes

Emily Cooper, a Chicago marketing executive, lands her dream job in Paris. The series follows her new life as she settles in Paris with little knowledge of the French language, but with a suitcase full of stylish and gorgeous clothes.

  • The Office

This hit comedy chronicles the antics of a group of disgruntled office workers with hilarious consequences and – as the series continues – touching moments. Michael Scott (Steve Carell) leads a group of apathetic workers at the Dunder Mifflin paper company. It’s worth your time just for the story of Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer), the ultimate power couple.

Average duration of episodes: 22 minutes
