In a recent Supply Management blog I suggested that it might make sense to set objectives for the % of lunches taken in a month. This would ensure the ‘how’ other objectives were being achieved wasn’t impacting our long term ability to sustain this output. 

Perhaps a little tongue in cheek at the time even if based on reality. I am, however, loving this research by BUPA that suggest that from the 1000 people they surveyed "Almost half (48 per cent) say their productivity dips at about 3pm if they have not had a break from their desk, leading to almost 40 minutes of lost working time, equating to £50 million a day".

Yes the sample is small, yes the 40mins is subjective but for me as the article says it’s more a reminder about the impact of not taking breaks and eating properly.

Because you know it makes sense.
