Taking regular breaks is important / myLot

When we work for longer hours on a particular task which needs our 100% focus and attention, we bound to get tired as our mind gets saturated. Research says that our mind peaks for once in every 90 minutes. Hence, the moment our mind gets saturated, it craves heavily to hops onto something that is very reliving and relaxing. We need to unwind it for its superior performance in terms of its sharp focus and undivided attention on whatever our mind hooks on to. This can be done by taking regular breaks in between those large time-blocks. This would not only help our mind to loosen a little but also inculcate a habit of focusing on one thing for a longer time before a periodic break.

@jiggy123 When I am working on a project I want to give it my all and finish it so can go on to something else and not sure I get tired. I find that I have energy to finish it. I do not take breaks because I wanted to finish the project.

Absolutely. Once you are in that zone, it makes little sense to take breaks as it would break your attention span. As long as your mind doesn't get saturated, you may continue doing it. The idea is to have a quality output and not approach your work with the not-so-resourceful mind.
