This is so huge. I usually eat while I work too, but consciously taking a break for lunch to go do something else makes SUCH a difference in my energy and motivation.

@Eliza- that works for me! Mini-retirement sounds good – and why wait until age 65? (or 67 or…)

@Amy – I hope the trip is safe and you make it back to the States quickly. Definitely a different scenario from most of us doing this challenge, but yes, there are probably good things to savor in all circumstances. I’m so glad you enjoyed Off the Clock!

@Nancy- love it! Always take the instagram photo first. Then put the phone away 🙂
Dinner will happen eventually. It usually does. Or you call for delivery. One or the other.

@Cheryl – I know exactly what you mean on the fun daydreaming part! I took along a book this week on top excursions/adventures and I’m enjoying picturing my theoretical trip to New Zealand.

So fun to imagine long road trips in comfort💚

I went to the pool, put my phone away (after taking an Instagram worthy pic), read advanced copy of Barbara Kingsolver’s new book and then swam a few laps to cool off. I could have skipped this and stayed at home and started dinner. But I didn’t. THANK YOU!

I made myself a chocolate-banana smoothie, shut my laptop for 15 minutes, and sat to enjoy it and think.
