Good morning. This is Laura.

Welcome to the new corner office, the podcast where we share strategies for thriving in the new world of work,

or location and hours are more flexible than in the past.

Today's tip is to find ways to savor your Monday lunch break.

Mondays can be hard, but by putting something intentionally enjoyable into the middle of your work day,

you make the start of the work week feel far more doable.

So if you're working remotely and flexibly, Mondays may feel better now than they did in the past.

Part of that Monday morning dread almost always stemmed from a stressful commute.

If you're working from home, that's gone, but even without the cold and the rain and the traffic,

it can be hard to transition into work mode from a really good weekend.

The next break that is the next weekend can seem a long time in the future.

But there's a simple way around this plan something fun pretty soon into your Monday work day.

Lunch offers a good spot for this.

You're only a few hours in and anyone can make it through a few hours, right?

That's a small wait for something you find genuinely enjoyable.

There are lots of ways to savor your Monday lunch break.
