Why You Need to Take Your Lunch Break

lunch break ideas

Here’s your morning reminder to take your lunch break today and every day.

Taking a lunch break at Pupcake Sugar has and will always be a non-negotiable.  Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day.  However, your lunch break is energy boost you need regroup from those morning meetings and help you focus on the second half of your day.

So, now that we’ve celebrated the official opening of the outside, Pupcake Sugar Lunch Break is back in full effect.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Consider your lunch break as a part of that equation to run the day and reclaim your time.  This month’s Pupcake Sugar Lunch Break event is all about running errands.

Raise your paw if you love making stops and running errands on your way home from work.  Anybody?  I’ll wait.  No?  Me either.  Even though I love Pupcake Sugar, the last thing I want to do is have to make a million different stops on my way home.

That’s why I decided to start doing those little errands during my lunch break.  Think about it this way.  You get out of the building for a few minutes and get some things done.  And, you won’t have to make those stops on your way home from work.  Sounds like a win to me.

So, try switching some of those after work errands to an “excuse” to step away from the screen and actually take your lunch break.  Here are some examples of lunch break errands you can do.

15-MINUTE BREAK

Set up those appointments that you keep forgetting to schedule.  Whether it’s a doctor’s appointment, car service appointment, or even booking your online reservation for your next trip, this is the perfect time to do so.  It’s also a good time to call about that question you have on your bill.

30-MINUTE BREAK

Pick up your prescription or stop at the dry cleaner’s.  You can use this time to go to the gas station to fill up your tank, run to the post office or grocery store, or make a quick stop at the bank.

ONE-HOUR BREAK

You can do so many things in an hour.  How about taking your car to the car wash or finally getting those alterations done on your favorite pants?  An hour is also enough time to get a quick pedicure or a 30-minute massage.

And, while you’re checking things off on your “to-do” list, the biggest “to-do” is of course to eat your lunch.  Whether you’re a lunch packer or a buyer, you want to make sure you get something to eat while you’re lunch breakin’.  You’ll never be able to be productive with the afternoon hangries lurking in your system.  However, I’d love to hear from you.

What errands do you find helpful to do on your lunch break?
