Whether your mid-day meal is at noon or 3am, you may struggle coming up with quick and easy workday lunch ideas. So, this could leave you dealing with eating the same thing every day, a rumbling belly, a quick stop at a convenience store, or scrounging for change for that coveted turkey sandwich in the breakroom vending machine. With a little planning and creativity you can have more control over what you eat to fuel you through the workday.
Small choices can make a big impact on your wallet, health, and the planet! According to Visa, the average American spends over $2,700/year on lunches, around $50 a week, wouldn’t you like to see that in your bank account instead? Packing your lunch gives you more control over what kind of food you’re eating, so you are less likely to eat something unhealthy or overeat. It can also help reduce waste, since around half of all litter is produced from fast food garbage!
Whether you are trying to save money, eat healthier, or do your part to reduce waste, here are a few ideas for easy workday lunches!
Chances are you have experienced both the acts of giving and receiving kindness. If you have, you know the feeling that comes with it. That feeling is palpable. It adds an extra pep in the step of both involved parties. Life can be tough. It can be filled with challenges. And that is why it is up to each and every person to do what they can, where they are, and with what they have to brighten up the day of those around them. This Friday is an opportunity to be extra mindful of the importance of just that.
“Kindness is doing what you can, where you are, with what you have.” -Unknown
National Random Acts of Kindness Day is celebrated annually on February 17, and is an opportunity to spread joy and goodwill. This idea was developed to encourage making kindness the norm, in schools, workplaces, and communities. Spreading joy and kindness does not need to be some elaborate activity, in fact the simpler the action the better.
To help you embrace the opportunity here are some ways that you can participate Friday (and every other day) that are simple, effective, and free:
Happy National Random Acts of Kindness Day!

Now you are entering the ‘what-do-I-want-to-be-when-I-grow-up’ phase of your life, and the team of employment experts at Manpower have a few tips for you regarding the world of work:
A career is a journey, not a singular destination. Every job you ever have will teach you skills that will prepare you for your next one. Enjoy your journey, you could be amazed at where the road takes you.
No matter what you find yourself doing for work, the work you do is important. Look at all the people you interract with at their work every single week, recognize and acknowledge the skills it takes for them to be successful.
The only constant is change, and learning how to quickly embrace it will set you apart from all the rest. When a change presents itself, don’t wallow in what once was – instead, be the one leaning in and moving forward.
Were you the class clown that wants to be taken seriously? You can have that. You do not have to be boxed into your school age identity. This is one of the best times of your life to redefine who you are and who you want to be.
Just like everything else, the world of work is always changing – and it can be overwhelming to try and navigate alone. Always remember Manpower is here to help you make excellent employment connections.
