Why You Shouldn’t Do Any Office Work After Lunch

Rotate Brain-and-Body-Work

For sign pros who “do it all,” don’t do any design or office work after lunch. By that point your brain and body need activity to stay sharp, and design/office tasks are the easiest parts of the signmaking process to become burnt out on (or screw up). Pace yourself, have a good lunch and then spend the rest of your day actually making all the cool stuff you’ve been designing for people!
