We all need to take a break.

Working to much makes your body to break down. No matter if it's your back that hurts or your brain that get fatigued, the problem is that you done to much work at a pace that your body can handle. There is a lot of different techniques to make sure that this does not happen. The key thing in take a break!


I've used Pomodoro technique before when there was a lot of work to get done. The reson that it works is that you focus on one task at the time and timeboxing the rest for 5 minutes ever 25 minutes forces you recover before doing next task. The covid-19 pandemic forces us to work from home and it's easy to play music without disturbing anyone. Time to be Ecrucial!

Use Pomodoro Technique and instrumental music to get into the zone quickly

Was listening to Mark Seeman on .Net Rocks, talking about Getting into the zone.

Got some good advice's, Instrumental music tends to be better to listen to than lyrics or someone is talking when trying to get "into the zone" or flow.
I usually had a podcast or a radio station on while working. But I get it now, listening and processing when someone is talking and in the same time as I'm working with my brain is reducing the mental performance. After changing to classical or instrumental music in my playlist at work, I can feel that it's faster to get into coding quicker when interrupted.

I also picked up the Pomodoro technique mentioned in the show, after reading up on the technique developed by Francesco Cirillo and setting a timer on 25 minutes when working and 5 minutes of rest between every "pomodoro"/work session, I can say it works for me, getting more done every day.
