I use a pomodoro timer to prevent breaks from lasting too long or being too infrequent. (It's important to rest your eyes!) I like this idea though, it would be less, irritating to have your break end when you're in the middle of a doodle than when you're in the middle of an article.
- countersixte 15y agoAgreed. The pomodoro technique is great for keeping your breaks time-bound. I often just walk around the office for a few minutes and refill my water bottle, etc. Gives me a chance to stare at something else than a screen.
- openczun 15y agoTo combat that, I usually use my short breaks to collect articles using Read It Later, or Instapaper... then use the longer breaks to actually read them.
- docgnome 15y agoYeah. I should do something like that. What I end up doing is just not reading stuff. Or taking breaks that are way too long.
