So...
Since i been working at home since late March, I noticed one of my really bad habits returned!!!
Back when I was in the office, under heavy workloads, I would always eat breakfast & lunch in my office at my desk.

Now days, at home...
I don't have the colleagues or friends to eat lunch with...
I noticed I been holing up at my desk eating lunch more often than not.

It's a habit I noticed again recently & I been doing whatever I can to get me out of my work station during food time xD

So the question is, how many of you are also suffering from eating at your work desk.
& do you truly believe it's a bad habit & why.
 
I like to move around and experience different settings throughout the day, eating is one of those times. Plus everything gets dirty I like a clean simplistic desk. No distractions.

Completely understand, but despite eating at the desk, i always keep my desk very clean and has minimal stuff on it.
A glass of tea/water
A Headset (for meetings)
2 phones and some pen and paper for quick notes
 
I have L Shaped Table Desk- so I eat and wank on one side, then work on the other side.

Although I plan to add multiple monitors for all sides soon -so I will eat in the kitchen soon, but still wank on the other side.
 
I'm more likely to work through lunch breaks, so I have to make a reminder to myself to actually take the break.
 
Nope, Its not a good thing. But depends on person to person.
 
I don't like to eat at my desk. For me, it's nice to take a brake, get a brain shift, and take the time and space to enjoy eating.
 
It is not eaten at the specified place for work. Eating takes place at both the dining table and the work table. I think people eat to survive. But the fun of eating at specific places is different.
 
Usually not and it also depends on the food, because my work desk is my bed. lol
The location doesn't really matter for me, i either bring the food to bed or i bring my tablet to the kitchen table.
 
Yes, I meal prep all my meals the night before, and put them in a microwave behind my desk. Then I take a 30-minute break at the middle of the day and play some chess or watch YouTube.
 
No.. before I had a wine and a cigar but I quit those.
 
I would send you the before and after cleaning pictures of my previous keyboard... but I rather not :D
 
Yep, I still do it. Previously all colleagues use to gather in pantry to have a lunch but since Corona we are having food on desk.
It is so stressful indeed.
 
If I’m really busy I eat at my desk for lunch, and sometimes dinner. Don’t generally eat breakfast though.
