Design a shared lunch pause at home

Decide whether work is put aside and for how long.

Try this

  1. Name the short work-free period and check whether either person has a real interruption to expect.
  2. Close or set aside screens for the agreed portion. If work intervenes, state it instead of silently leaving the shared arrangement.

A worked example

“Could we close our screens for the first ten minutes of lunch?”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

If an urgent task interrupts, say so plainly rather than silently dividing attention.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
