Make your lunch break easier

Small ways to make time for lunch during a busy workday.

A busy day can leave lunch as an afterthought. If it helps, put a short lunch break in your calendar and decide on your meal before the workday begins.

Pack leftovers you enjoy or choose a nearby meal option you know. Keep a bottle of water within reach, and give yourself a chance to sit down while you eat.

Notice what makes the break easier for you. It might be preparing your lunchbox the night before or stepping away from your desk. Pick one change to try this week.
