I found it very helpful for programming. On the one hand, when I was doing boring stuff that didn't need much concentration, it was easier to deal with and just knock it out. On the other, when I really did need to concentrate, it was easier to do. The researcher says most of us walk around with a tight focus and exhaust that part of our brains, so if we give it a rest we can concentrate better when we need to. It works best if you practice it a couple times a day, so it becomes kind of a new normal. It had other benefits too. It was very physically relaxing, and I found myself noticing the beauty of my surroundings much more than usual.
