I turn 64 next week, and plan to retire in about 18 months. I am learning so much from my younger colleagues these days about about what it means to have a healthy relationship to work. I am deeply appreciate what's expressed in this essay and am trying to be better. Maybe with the help of my younger colleagues and great writing like this, I'll get there by the time I retire. I'll count that a win.
I love this! I'm really pro the different generations learning from each other. I think people who are open, like you are, are so essential. Thank you for reading and sharing!
I always have such good intentions for my lunch break however there are two distractions that stop me. One - work and two - hunger. Invariably I get distracted by work or end up making food and then sitting at my desk and mindlessly scrolling through the news. Will try and think of a hack to do better! Thanks for sharing 😊
There's an extra weirdness to days when I'm in the office but not with anyone I directly work with (my team are all over the country) - it feels harder to justify moving away from the desk when (as in your newsroom example) everyone can see you. I tend to go and sit somewhere else in the building with my Kindle.

It's so easily done - I often tell myself I'll go on a walk on my break or do some life admin and then just... don't.

Think Kindle time is a great shout!
