Do you have a fixed lunchtime?

Working in a corporate environment often provides a structured routine, including designated lunch breaks. However, the shift to remote work can blur these boundaries, making it hard to step away from the workspace and prioritize meal times.
Have you ever experienced this?

Intermittent fasting.... so noon it is. I feel like your body is waiting and adapting to your routine, so changing this schedule might be tough. But eventually you will get over it. It Is the same with travelling and timezones, daylight saving etc.

@mary_rumyantzeva I’m doing it for 3 years now. Not 100% strict but let’s say 95%. Coffee and water are allowed and are my go to.
No, but I have been meaning to set a lunchtime. I will do this tomorrow onwards! How about you?
This was a thoughtful question, @mary_rumyantzeva :)
@khyati_shah4 Same, but I just add lunchtime to my work schedule. Thank you
Yes, it happens! I think it's important to choose a specific time and actually stick to it, turning it into a routine. Annoying alarm clocks can, unsurprisingly, help with it 😂
It also helps if you make it as easy as possible for yourself, for example, if you have a meal you can easily prepare, like something you can quickly heat up in the microwave.
Launching soon!
Fixed nothing
I have a fixed lunch and nap time, working from home :D.
I know that people look down at napping but if 20' can give me a great boost for the second half of the day (during which I need to be focused for my meeting with the state-side folks) I'll take it every day.
Right now its fasting
@darcy_andrews For how long have you been practising fasting?
Intermittent fasting....
@david_roberts16 For how long have you been practising intermittent fasting?
Yes! I take my lunch at noon :D
As someone deeply involved in various tech sectors, I can relate to the struggle of maintaining a fixed lunchtime in a remote work setup. The boundary between work and personal life can indeed get blurry. Finding that balance is key - maybe setting a reminder can help!
