How often do you skip lunch?
I have long struggled with property management professionals who say, “You know, I never take a lunch. I usually work right through it.” I just don’t get that. I agree that offices are crazy busy and it is sometimes difficult to fit it in and in the same respect I just don’t get it.
In the near fourteen years I have been in the multifamily business and from the time I was a leasing consultant right up to the time I became a regional manager for a major multifamily REIT, I always took a lunch. If for nothing else, it was a time to decompress and regain composure. I felt more productive and more mentally astute in the afternoon if I stocked my body with the proper energy. *Note – never eat Mexican food for lunch, it is a natural nap producer.
Are you a lunch-skipper or do you take the time off to recharge? If you skip, I would love to know your reasons. Let’s hear from those of you who take the time off too.
