Don't take the break if you don't want to. If you think of the break will make you more productive take the break. Sometimes pomodoro tells me to take a break and I tell pomodoro to STFU. Then I finish the freaking work! Remember this is a technique to make you more productive, not hold you back!
- jones1618 2y agoExactly. Breaks aren't for when you're "in the zone" but "in the grind." They're best for breaking out of a haze when you're just spinning your wheels or for reminding you to refresh your batteries a bit (physically, mentally) when you are slogging through some tedious work. You'd be surprised how often breaks hit reset when you are mindlessly "working hard" but not working effectively. You come back with new energy and perspective.
