You don't often get sprints where you are typing consistently, those are usually your most valuable "zoned-in" sessions.
I don't see why you would interrupt that, it takes awhile to get zoned back in.
Go walk around after you have a good session. This seems really annoying.

Mainly because you save yourself from the huge dips of exhaustion caused by pushing your organism over its limit. Your body will strike back, believe me.
- majkinetor 7y agoIts not only that. Thare are number of real medical issues - spine problems, RSI, eye strain etc.
- s_y_n_t_a_x 7y agoI prefer to zone in for 3-18 hours then rest the day after. Been doing this for 12 years and I'm healthy (according to my doctor). It's not manual labor, it's not that strenuous on the body. I filter the blue light to help eye strain and stretch when I feel like it.
- stagas 7y agoThat is an interesting approach and you might actually be an outlier. However, in a generic context, the idea is that someone needs to take breaks to minimize the risk of exhaustion and other medical problems and it does make a difference in someone's overall productivity when they do not push themselves too much. So, to answer your original question "why would someone want to interrupt their workflow" the answer is: In general, even if someone loses a few of their valuable zoned-in epiphanies, they gain an overall well-being and retain their health, which makes them be productive all year-round.
