National Take Back the Lunch Break Day

Show of hands… how many of us mindlessly scarf down lunch while answering emails or drafting reports? We are ALL guilty of trying to cram a little more work into our days!

But skipping the comradery of the cafeteria or simply stepping away from our screens to eat can actually decrease productivity.

National Take Back the Lunch Break Day reminds us to disconnect for at least a half hour – take your PB&J outside, chat up a colleague over chicken, or just take a minute to reset with some leftover rice.

You’ll be amazed at what 30 minutes can do for your morale and efficiency!
