Grab the seasonal meal, but don’t baptize your keyboard in sauce. A 10-minute reset keeps the desk clean, your wrists happy, and your brain oxygenated.

How to break without wrecking the desk
#

  • Food lane: tray or napkin, away from keyboard/mouse. Cover the board if you must eat nearby.
  • Hydrate first: one glass of water before the first bite.
  • Post-bite: quick stretch—wrists, shoulders, neck—to undo the hunch.

10-minute reset
#

Minute 0–2: Clear a landing zone; cover keyboard; water up.
Minute 2–7: Eat off to the side; no scrolling. Breathe.
Minute 7–9: Wipe desk, wash hands, uncover keyboard.
Minute 9–10: One stretch + one next-action written down before reopening apps.
