But make sure to leave your computer/work area for the whole break continuing to sit at your desk and halfway-work simply makes you less productive when you actually return from your break Take a quick walk grab something to drink, or go outside. Anything to mentally separate yourself from your workspace before returning for another hour of super-productive work

Follow the 52-17 rule

Our brains need regular breaks to keep functioning at a high capacity.

A glut of research shows that you should take breaks when you can to reap benefits and avoid burnout. The average time to work productively is 52 minutes of work followed by 17 minutes of rest.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
