I have my lunch time blocked in my calendar everyday. Because it’s a sacred break time for me.
If there is no date to do my #LunchwithLing, this is my typical routine lunching alone. I plug in my earphones and listen to podcasts or music. My recent favourite is this podcast called Smartless hosted by Will Arnett, Jason Bateman & Sean Hayes. Then I will start my journey walking to my eatery destination.
Order my food and while waiting for my food, I will take a selfie & send to my husband to remind him to miss me. Food comes, I will take another picture like most people do. Eat my lunch while listening to Smartless & playing mobile games too at the same time. We women are great in multitasking =}
After my meal, I will check my messages to see if there is anything urgent to attend. Most of the time there is nothing urgent so I will then go to the mall to walk my lunch off a bit before heading back to the office to continue my day. How do you take your breaks?
Many researches will tell you that with regular breaks, one can improve their focus, energy and motivation throughout the day. It’s true. So yes, take your lunch break seriously to unplug temporarily from work to clear your mind before you go bonkers too.
