Huh, 60-60-30, which is really 50(work)-10(break)-50(work)-30(break). Not too different from my proposal, except for the thirty minute break. I wonder how crucial that part is. Interestingly, I’ve never managed to do more than two of these 45-15 in a row, so maybe that’s something.
Interesting thing about the 30 is it also has a small healthy meal attached. Eben says it has to do with maintaining blood sugar—could possibly be that without the meal, you’re simply depleting your willpower/blood glucose, Which is why you can’t do more than two in a row
That’s a good point. I often eat while working or during my fifteen minute break, and I agree that feels very important for keeping my energy up. I don’t know if I ought to dedicate time to eating and only eating, or if I should not eat for the two hour work block, though.
Eben Pagan has his 60-60-30 technique based around circadian rhythms, may be worth looking into for you:

Thanks.
