What's your work-to-break-ratio sweet spot?
Mine seems to be 45/15 though for some tasks I'll run at 25/5
So I'm wondering what do you do in your break time?
I'll check out the forum or maybe watch a YouTube video on a topic of interest (rather than just bounce around aimlessly).
How do you bring your focus and attention back after those breaks?
If the task is deep work and I am 'in the zone' I tend to stop the Pomodoro when it goes off and continue working until my focus eventually lapses or the task is complete (whichever happens first).
There is no point in breaking your concentration taking a forced break if your work is flowing well. The Pomodoro technique is there to help you overcome distractions, it shouldn't become one in itself. Does that make sense?
