Let's face it, folks. 10-minute time-outs just won't cut it. They're like the 'one more sip of coffee' approach to productivity. It's a temporary high, a fleeting sense of energy, but ultimately, a crash and burn.
20-minute time-outs, on the other hand, are like the 'take a deep breath and recharge' approach. They're the secret to a sustainable work flow. You focus on the task at hand, and when the timer goes off, you take a break. No guilt, no stress, just pure, unadulterated focus.
So, if you're still stuck on the 10-minute merry-go-round, take a leap. Try a 20-minute time-out, and watch your productivity soar. Or, at the very least, not plummet.
