My lunch doesn't take more than 1 hour, in which I am faced with several options: either I watch an episode of a Netflix show , read some manga, or watch Youtube video essays on random stuff. Nothing too demanding, because I want to keep that energy for my work.

Whether I watch anything while eating usually depends on how mentally-spent I feel.

For example, if I'm eating breakfast alone in the morning, I'm usually feeling pretty energetic and have a bigger appetite for stimulation. I might watch a podcast interview.

Now if I'm eating lunch in the middle of my workday and I'm alone, I usually don't watch anything. My brain usually feels way too saturated and overstimulated so I might just eat and stare out the window.

After the workday is done and I'm eating dinner, it can be a toss-up haha. If I'm super exhausted, I won't watch anything, but if I'm feeling energetic, I might watch something similar to when I eat breakfast.

This may not be the answer you want to hear. I put all my attention on enjoying every bite. Think of mindful eating. I find it stress buster. I don't recall when I did overeating.

I watch mostly travel videos with the idea it being background noise. I prefer YouTubers who don’t talk much. Just show the energy or calm of the place.

I don't watch anything. If I'm eating alone, I usually listen to music or read.

oh you like Veritasium?
