Trying to stop buying meal deals and having crap lunches in general

I manage to do all the ultra important things in life like keeping documents in a file, paying bills and hitting work deadlines. But anything I can “get away with” I am lazy about. I pay for a cleaner, buy convenience food, begrudge doing laundry etc. I am really fed up of eating a crap meal deal for lunch, but would like to hear from anyone who has been like me in the past but found a few go-to lunches they throw together the night before without too much effort. What made you change this habit? What lunches do you make for yourself?

TIA

update: I have bought a compartmentalised lunchbox, and have been filling each compartment with food. Only had one meal deal so far because I forgot to fill the box, but am trying to make an enjoyable ritual out of it in the evenings.

I cook up some fusilli and cool it, then add a tin of sweetcorn, chopped cucumber, red onion, some pepper and Mayo. Plenty salt and pepper.
Then either a packet of little prawns or left over chicken if I’ve done a roast the day before.
Makes a huge bowl and then I just take a portion out each morning.
