I try and schedule my “collaboration” time then because conversation helps, and a lot of times it’s not entirely work related. For real though my focus is gone until later at night by this point, so it is what it is. My coworkers and managers are fine with it.
Eat a modest portion and eat something with plenty of fiber. But you may need to experiment as everyone’s body works differently. Lentil soup/stew/salad has been my go to.
Mate, I am in a union, and the Teachers Federation even got us our pay rise, which should start this month. We are all looking forward to it. But school is over fast, I find I forget to eat at the gaps, better to eat before and after school.
Can’t speak for others but I notice I only feel sleepy if I have a huge meal. A normal sized meal followed by a fruit usually keeps me going till home time.
Yeah I think the problem is overindulgence, not necessarily what you’re eating or that you’d need special tricks. Just ease back a bit. You don’t need to stuff yourself over lunch unless you live in a society where lunch is your largest meal of the day and you get a siesta afterwards.
My lunch is usually a can of Monster and a handful of Ibuprofen, but I’m under no illusion that doing so isn’t slowly killing me, so probably don’t follow my lead here.
