"So basically short zone bursts are great for performance but make sure you take regular stops."

Couldn't agree more. Not only this, but failing to do this could lead you into burning out for weeks.

I was once working 2 jobs, a mall job from morning to afternoon and coding from afternoon to night. I would never take breaks.

I got the project done but by the time I was 80% complete I was working only at 50% efficiency. I tired my brain out. Especially since it's staring at a screen all day.

Great write-up Bart.
