I used to but now consistently take 30min- 1hr with my laptop fully closed and step away for lunch, and it’s helped my focus for my second half of the day I think
I try to never work through any break, or any vacation. It's insane to expect people to not take breaks. We are human and we have to take care of ourselves as humans rather than just working non-stop all the time
Not taking regular breaks during lunch will just make you less productive. At my job, it's not possible to work through lunch to finish early unless you work under 6 hours. That's the cap, plus the law requires you to have a break.
yes I do, So I don't feel bad about going home early
As a rule I never work through my lunch break. I take using it as a break seriously, and I use that time to check my phone, play Wordle, and, of course, eat. On very rare occasions, if something is really urgent, I will eat while working, but that's very much the exception to the rule.
