They aren't allowed to block out their lunch because they need to be flexible. Plus they have both scheduled him for things when he was already scheduled for something else by the other supervisor. No care is given.
But he likes the job and bosses otherwise so he doesn't want to make it a thing.

My SO is supposed to get a 60 minute lunch (30 paid/30 unpaid).
He has 2 supervisors. One constantly schedules meetings at 12 and the other at 1. Neither ever checks if it's convenient, they just put it on his calendar. And neither ever checks if that means he won't get his lunch break. He's constantly taking 20 minutes here and 20 minutes there and having to come back early. I don't think he gets his full 60 minute break more than once a week.

Charge all of your devices a few hours before. If you have any of those emergency power bank things for your cellphone, charge those too.
Turn up the heat so the place gets warmer than normal. If the power goes out, you'll appreciate it being warm longer.
Have flashlights with batteries or equivalent lanterns and know exactly where they are so you can grab them in the dark.
Have food options that don't require using the stove or opening the fridge. Think peanut butter and bread, or crackers, bag of chips, popcorn etc.
If you have a wood or pellet stove, make sure you have wood or pellets.

Ditto. Especially since the person you are speaking to is almost never the person who made the mistake.
You ask me for help or tell me you screwed up and I'll move mountains. You get on the phone with a crappy attitude, blaming me, and I'll try to help but I'm not calling in any favors.

Reply to LPT request : How to get off the phone (games/social media/educational videos but not in context of what really matters) and do what matters most even if it's boring? by Redskull9099
Tell yourself if something would take less than 2 minutes, you'll just jump up and do it.
Bring that plate into the kitchen? That's totally less than 2 minutes.
Break bigger tasks down into 2 minute sections so you start tackling them.

I'd concur. I used to bake when I got upset and always found that soothing.

We use them as training weapons for the kids in our dojo. Great for teaching blocking.

I definitely became a better martial artist after I took up coaching kids in it (under a much higher ranked teacher).

I can 100% see him doing that.
