Think the author said he was spending 80% of his day not coding, and was spending too much time on reddit, facebook, twitter, etc. Though the article certainly would have benefited from a mention of the benefits of coming up for air (he mentioned email as an unproductive task, which I certainly wouldnt agree with)
- ahtu123 9y agoSites like reddit, Twitter and Facebook are more like feeding a dopamine addiction. It's not really a healthy break to take. Taking breaks is good if you go for a walk, talk to a co-worker, meditate, grab a coffee, do some stretches, go to the gym. Breaks are not good if you're getting your dopamine hits on various fun websites. I mean they're fine as long as you mentally treat them like having a beer or launching Steam and playing a game for a bit. Should you be doing those things at work instead of getting your work done and heading home? Probably not.
