Some days almost the entire day. I'll read, watch videos, do some tutorials. But its offset because usually when I do this it's because I'm hung up on something and it just isn't going to get solved unless the ole brain has time to do its subconscious thing.
- 1_player 10y agoLetting the subconscious work through a hard problem while doing something else is a truly underrated trick. Taking a shower or going for a walk also works wonderfully.
- ThrustVectoring 10y agoI've solved a bug while eating a cup of yogurt while walking around outside the office. Definitely worthwhile.
- wingworks 10y agoI used to take hour long lunch breaks, which I'd spend about 35mins walking to get food and finding a nice spot to sit outside, most days I done this I would come back into the office refreshed and often fix the issue I was working on shortly after coming back. But the hour-long break was always founded upon, which is why I ended up leaving. (it was also the only break I took each day, but the culture in the team I was in was to take no more than 30mins break)
- 9erdelta 10y ago30 minute breaks? Sounds unbearable! Plus knowing that you're being judged creates a pressure that doesn't help solve problems.
