The 30/30 Minute Work Cycle

“You might think it’s crazy and stupid, but it works for me,” he said. “I sit at my desk and> work for 30 minutes without distraction > , completely absorbed in my work. Then, after the 30 minutes are up, I drop whatever I’m doing and go> do something fun for 30 minutes > . During this relaxation time, I don’t think about work at all - I play games, write, whatever, but no work. After 30 minutes, I go back to my desk, rinse and repeat.”
