A while back I committed to taking regular lunch breaks - not as radical as artist breaks, but a step in the right direction.
When I challenged two academic productivity peeps with this, I was surprised by their responses:
"While acknowledging the clear mental and physical advantages of taking a break, Inger said, “I just don’t know if I could do that.” Jason said the same, and that he time-shifted some of his lunch break to the end of the day so that he could leave work early. After some thought, he decided that a lunchtime yoga class might be beneficial."
