Many people find that their productivity and motivation levels drop after they eat something for breakfast or lunch, why not even dinner if it comes to night shifts. What about you, have you noticed that you feel unfocused and unfocused at work, especially after eating?
So why does it happen? According to Juliet Landau-Pope, a productivity coach, this whole situation is related to a phenomenon known as the "post-meal productivity slump." Also known as a "food coma," this post-meal state can make it harder to focus on tasks at work.
"You're more likely to feel tired after eating a meal, and it's hard to feel enthusiastic about work when your energy is low, and there's nothing surprising about that," she says. "It's often more it's easy to get things done in the morning hours when you feel fresh and focused, because the start of the day is full of possibilities,” says Landau-Pope.
Here are three tips for you who want to overcome the drop in productivity after eating:
#1 Get moving during your downtime
Increase your energy and motivation by taking a short walk or doing some exercise, preferably outside in nature, immediately after eating because small movements can affect the recovery of energy after consuming a meal.
#2 Do something cool
Plan to do something nice right after you get back from your lunch break, which could be listening to music, chatting with a colleague you care about, or just relaxing with a cup of coffee.
#3 Be cooperative
Being productive in a work environment is a factor that affects the productivity and quality of your work. Therefore, meeting with work colleagues, talking with one of the company's leaders or simply committing to advance a project means that you do not feel the load, after you have been fed.
