I like to set timers. I use the taskbar timer in xfce to set it to say 30mins, and then I work on getting something done in that time. It works really well. Not sure if this has a common name. This was really helpful when I redid the FastComments admin area, as that was a big slog of UI work that I quickly got tired of. This was before Claude :)

  I don't take breaks per se, which is a core part of that technique iirc.

    I think the break can be a reflection and note taking period. Unfocus a bit, but not too far.

      Interesting. I use the timer thing just for long running tasks I want to make progress on every day. Then I go work on other stuff.
