You shouldn't eat at the desk. But you do.

OK, don't eat at your desk. Take a break away from work.

But if you are going to do it anyway, try these tips for better desk eating.

* First get up and walk somewhere: restroom, office fridge, somewhere.

* Next, spend a moment cleaning your desk. Get everything cleaned off and tidy. You'll feel more relaxed.

* Now, turn away from the computer and set out your lunch. Set the scene. Set the table. Be away from work.

* Eat slowly and mindfully.

* At some point, talk to another person, if possible.

* Stretch, relax.
