Sad desk lunch options. (Photo by Jen Carlson/The Islandist)
It's so lovely out, and yet here we are ordering lunch through the few clicks of a button on our computer, which we will continue to stare at even as we eat said lunch. But hey, maybe that is not a good idea! Maybe we should all jack out of the Matrix sometimes and enjoy some human interaction or a good stare at the sky or maybe we should disconnect and just be.
Author Bob Pozen has shared some tips on office lunching over at Inc., where they say "eating at your desk may make you less productive rather than more." Pozen suggests eating alone to "help restore your personal resources." And he means really alone, no iPhone or screens of any kind. Why? "An absence of stimulation encourages associative or integrative thought, spurring your creativity."
Plus, a quick glance at the Sad Desk Lunch Tumblr proves it is just freaking depressing. In the end, when you look back on your life, is it going to look like an endless scroll of that Tumblr?
P.S. Also try eating your lunch standing up, since all that sitting is slowly murdering you.
