Thanks for your article! I believe it will benefit a lot of people because a lot of us underestimate the power of taking breaks.

You write that a break every 90 minutes would be beneficial but what is your view on using the pomodoro technique (25 minutes work, 5 minutes break and after X amount of pomodoros a 20-30 minute break) when working/studying/...? Would it prevent this 90 minute decline in focus or not?

Thanks, Olivier. I'd get a longer (20-minute) break after three Pomodoros. You can't grind for hours and hours on end without a break longer than 5 minutes.

Good idea, I'm changing the settings of my pomofocus as we speak :) Thanks for your advice!
