1-1-1: Lunch Is a Meeting Too


Hey friends,

Hope you had a good weekend.

Here’s this week’s 1-1-1.

1 Doodle

Last week, I was setting things up on my new work laptop. I feel I should make a YouTube video about setting up a work laptop so new hires can follow along and get off to a better start.

One of the things I did was block out a one-hour meeting for myself and food! :) I usually schedule it from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, but I stay flexible if something needs my attention. I might push it earlier or later, but I never skip my lunch meeting. Even if I'm not hungry, I try to go for a walk to detach from work, and often I return with a fresh idea.

1 Do

Block a 1-hour meeting on your calendar for lunch and title it 1:1 : Food. Set it to repeat every workday forever.

1 Direction

As I shared in the newsletter about a month ago, taking breaks from work, even just a 10-minute walk, is essential. You shouldn't wait to take a break only when you feel you need it; take it proactively before you reach the point of exhaustion.

When it comes to recharging with food, this is non-negotiable. Nothing is more important for your well-being than a good diet, quality sleep, and regular exercise.

That’s all for this week.

Warmly,

- Ehsan /a-🌞/
