you mean how much do I work throughout my day between breaks? lol...

Sometimes I forget what time it is and literally hours have passed by without a break... it's not good, but I try to go usually an hour to an hour and a half without being interrupted or breaks before standing up stretching or just walking around the block

I aim to take a break once an hour. During which I will jump around a bit to get my heart rate up, do some mobility drills, deep breathe, drink water, and have a small bit of fruit.

I use the time to also do some visualization in my mind to keep me on task.

Doing this goes a long way for me. Not doing it usually results in a lower quality of life during my work period. I am flexible about the time, though. I will take it ten minutes later or early to avoid stopping in the middle of something.

I take a 30-minute break both in the morning and afternoon. And a one-hour break at noon. This could give me ample time to regenerate by eating light meals, rest my eyes and meditate a little. Straining one's self will just lead to unable to fulfill any task.

Not nearly as many as I should!
Its so easy to get caught up with the day's issues and forget to pause and refocus! I will need to do this more often!

This is interesting because I've been thinking about this exact topic lately. How I just need to pause and be still more often. I pretty much never take breaks and I know it's not healthy. I recently found a Mac application called "Time Out" that reminds you to take breaks every hour.

I take one break but it's usually about 90 minutes.I feel it's good to have a longer break because it breaks the day up nicely.

Good stuff guys, thanks for sharing.

Breaks help us to observe, and observation is a rare trait. It's simple to get caught up in situations and make low energy choices when you don't pull back and observe frequently.

Good post! Ahh yeah our attention span can lasts so long.. I think break it's so important to take after a few hours of staring or working in front of computer... it's much more refreshing and you can get so much more done once you come back after recharging your energy!
