i have to have a car because otherwise i cant drive around the country solving mysteries while being doggedly pursued by federal marshals for a crime i did not commit (9/11)
tell me what you think? sometimes i eat at lunchtime (ie noon) but sometimes later. sometimes earlier. sometimes not at all!

what's the best? when do i eat lunch to maximize energy and also make the work day seem shortest?

about 1pm

that way folks who're eating lunch earlier don't bother me, and folks (usually) don't bother me while i'm eating lunch

win/win

best practice is to book your calendar between 11:30 and 1:30 for lunch every day.

the way not to take lunch is to use it to feed into your eating disorder, trying to seclude yourself from the job that you increasingly hate under the building stress of the work, binging hoping to stretch your lunch break out just a little bit longer -- maybe i'll go back to the cafeteria to get another dessert yeah! etc

better than this is to forget lunch entirely from excessive focus

later, after 1pm. makes the work day go by faster. also mix it up, instead of eating at your desk go outside sometimes

the pro move is to go full Spanish with this and go for lunch at 2pm and then work until 7pm

i prefer around 12:45 or so but for whatever reason the team hivemind has settled on 12:00 sharp and even the people who brought lunchboxes or a sandwich or w/e usually come along for a short walk together with whoever's buying something to bring back to the office, so i usually tag along as well

i actually enjoy the company of my coworkers so it's no big deal

i like 1pm because the rush is at 12 and you dont have to wait in line so much

on the other hand sometimes it's nice to be social and lunch with all the others at 12

I get in at 1:40 and immediately go to lunch before the cafeteria closes at 2

Lately I've been leaving my backpack in my car and just taking my laptop so it looks like I was at meetings during that time

I work 8-5 and take lunch at like noon and invariably when I'm onsite in the bay area I still have a tendency to get in early and all the motherfuckers just get in somewhere between 9-11 and leave at 6-8pm and I'm not pulling a loving 12h day dammit

the last startup I worked at the rest of my team would get in between 10:30 and noon then promptly eat lunch and play video games for a while and finally actually start working around 2. they used to give me poo poo for leaving at 5

the thought of coming back from lunch but still having most of my day in front of me sounds quite hellish tbh. I usually work until five so that’s a non-starter with me.

depending on the day you could probably pull off a 9:15a to 3:45p situation with an hour and a half lunch starting at 11a

your workflow just has to include running significant interference

_all these meetings_
