I wondered how often people work overtime? I literally never work over, but I do always find myself working through lunch. Especially when I am in the office, its just so easy to get sucked in and sit there whilst eating your food! But I do feel that I need to take a proper break.

Very rarely. There are maybe a few days per month where I'll have to work late. Most of the time, I'm done right at 5 PM. You should definitely be taking your lunch break. It's the only hour of the day you get to yourself - don't waste it sitting at your desk working!

That's really good to hear! I literally will never work overtime but my weakness is definitely sitting and working whilst having lunch. I need to get out of that habit

Sometimes we have some busy months and we’ll see a lot of overtime. I am with you about working through lunch. Just seems easier to keep plugging away instead of taking that break, but I’d probably feel a lot better if I just took it!

Absolutely, the break is there for a reason and I know I will feel better for taking it, but it is sometimes so hard to switch off!

There’s no such thing as overtime in my position. 50 hour work weeks are the standard. We also don’t clock in/out or get paid OT.

Contract? No?

When you have those tasks that seem never-ending, maybe even repetitive, possibly a multi-day effort (or any other long periodic timeframe), set an "acceptable-for-you" limit where you would feel accomplished when you reach it.

Then, determine your energy levels and decide if you can/want to do more or call it a day.

Example: Setting a limit to how much daily progress you want to make towards a 10-15 page final deliverable for your client.
