How To Remember To Eat Lunch At Work

The week of C&C is a crazy, wild ride.

And we’re all along for it, but sometimes we forget to eat.

Which, everyone, including your mom, knows is vital to your overall well-being, brain health, and sanity.

Drink water. Eat food. It shouldn’t be that hard, but it is. Your adrenaline takes over. And in the midst you forget to feed yourself.

Here are some reasons why that’s a horrible idea.

SKIPPING LUNCH SLOWS YOUR METABOLISM

Also, it slows down your ability to quickly process information. What you want to do when you hear your stomach rumble, is answer the call. Sometimes that means opening up the little “Postmates” app on your phone  .

SERIOUSLY, TAKE YOUR LUNCH BREAK.

Disconnecting from work mid-day can actually GIVE you an energy boost and make everything run more smoothly. When it comes to event production, there are so many tiny balls in the air and skipping lunch ensures that some of those balls will drop. Our Senior Event Producer, Adri Contreras, knows that ordering lunch is key, especially when it comes to long grueling days onsite. But who has time for that?! (Not us.)

Luckily, Postmates stepped up and sent the crew a healthy spread from Kye’s. It’s a health-focused eatery with a ton of options-- from organic gluten-free wraps and vegan yummies for the plant-based eaters on our team, it filled our team up, without leaving them sluggish. Which, says Adri, is exactly what we need during the day.

SMART WORKERS MANAGE THEIR WORK/FOOD ENVIRONMENT

Like we’ve said, don’t work so hard that your plate is full but your stomach is empty.

If you want to work smart, you have to be smart. That means powering up on healthy options.

Luckily, Postmates delivers anything from anywhere. And on the days you know will be insane you can even schedule your wrap delivery ahead of time. That’s like the grown-up version of packing your lunch. #SorryNotSorryMom.
