I simultaneously believe that you're correct about short breaks helping focus, that people who understand this effect tend to overestimate it in ways that help them rationalise procrastination, and that the renewed focus gained from a short walk or meditation is probably more helpful than whatever focus is gained from engaging in activities that require the social functions of your brain to kick in.

Working from home can be lonely so virtual social interactions might be of higher importance to me than to, say, some introvert locked whole day in open space office full of people.
