Sometimes the expression "out to lunch" is used to imply that someone isn't as focused on the task at hand as they should be. In reality, going out to lunch can be an asset and improve both focus and motivation. Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of taking a midday break and how to use Stockpile small business inventory system to improve your business.
Step Away
Everyone needs a break sometimes. Stepping away from a project can allow you to relax and see it in a new way. A fresh perspective can help you see what's holding you back and point you in the right direction to get things moving. It doesn't have to be a big break to have a major impact. Even just an hour or two can be enough to help you regroup and refocus.
A Good Stopping Point
We've talked a lot in the past about the benefits of having incremental steps within a large project. Finding a good stopping point and wrapping things up so that you can go to lunch can help you set smaller goals. It can be important to straighten up your work space and get to a good stopping point before you step away from your area. Having this as a goal can help you focus and finish that last little bit in a timely manner.
Take Care of Yourself
Working through lunch may sound like a good way to impress the boss but it can also be a good way to overdo it and burn yourself out. Taking care of yourself should always be a priority. Eating right and getting enough rest are the cornerstones of self care. Setting aside an hour a day to go to lunch can provide such clarity and motivation that you are actually more productive afterwards. Now that's impressive!
Fresh, Fresh, Fresh
Reheating leftovers in the break room gets you away from your desk but it might not be the break you really need. Leaving the office and going out to lunch gives you time to think, the chance to enjoy a meal that you're excited about, and a fresh way of looking at things. Really use going out to lunch to your advantage. Recharge and refresh so that you're ready to tackle the rest of your afternoon.
