We all know that midday slump when lunchtime rolls around. You're hungry, maybe a little tired, and unsure what to eat. But lunch doesn't have to be stressful! With some simple planning and a few smart habits, you can enjoy delicious meals and stay productive all afternoon.
Preparing lunch doesn't have to take forever. Here are some easy ideas that keep you energized:

A little structure can make your lunch break more refreshing and productive.
It's easy to skip lunch when you're busy. Set a reminder to step away from work and eat.
