An actual break
Lunch has a habit of becoming something you do while answering one more message. Sometimes it’s worth putting the phone down, moving away from your desk, and paying attention to what’s on your plate.
The right food for the afternoon
A wrap you can hold in one hand. A plate of rice you’ve been thinking about since morning. The same order as last week because it was that good. Lunch doesn’t have to be a project. Pick what sounds good to you.
Invite someone along
If you’re sharing a space, ask what everyone else is having. Comparing lunch plans can be the best conversation of a busy day. And if you’re eating alone, that’s a perfectly good lunch too.
