Great idea....especially if we are in front of the computer screen...give our eyes a break.

I've used this for years. It works perfectly and leads to far greater productivity. -Mark

I am going to copy and paste that as a reminder to let it go.....every once in a while. This does look like something that will add value to our content.

Yes, it does work, but the problem is most of us, people, are not too consistent in things which have to do with our health. I guess it might take some pomodoro alarm clock to keep us remember do this.:)))

Thanks for sharing the technique and I will try it!

I've known about this method for years but I stopped doing it as if recent. Thanks for reminding me about it

Thank you for sharing.

Taking breaks is vital. Sipping on water to keep hydrated is really important. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this post! I read somewhere here on WA that your mind can only concentrate on a single task for 90-120 minutes (I think?), it was something like that before your mind starts to drift and you need a break.

I definitely take breaks throughout the day, but I also don't limit myself. If I'm on a roll with writing a post I do not stop because I know that if I do, I won't remember what I was going to say. That's me personally.

So my daily schedule, when I'm not at my day job, is roughly this:

6:30 - wake up, do morning routine, check email, rewrite to do list
8:00 - 8:30/8:45 - breakfast time!
8:30/8:45 - 11:00ish - start to do list for the day, switching up tasks as needed
11:00ish - 12:00 - do housework/take a break
12:00 - 1:00 - lunch
1:00 - 3:30 - continue to do list
3:30 - take break/finish (this really depends on if I have any other calls on my time that day such as making dinner, going out with friends, etc.)

The rest of my day is pretty much random. I have gone and watched a training replay at 6:30 at night or so simply because it was on my to do list and I hadn't gotten it done yet.

Worth a try---can't be as bad as a poke in the eye with a sharp stick...
