This part takes some discipline. Discipline takes time to develop. Be patient.&lt;p&gt;* If you feel that you cannot focus on your work, get up and walk around. Go to the bathroom. Step outside for a moment. Take yourself out of the work, then return to your desk and immediately dive back in.&lt;p&gt;* Accept that you&amp;#x27;re a human - not a robot; that 100% efficiency is unattainable; and that it&amp;#x27;s a waste of your only life to try to attain 8 hours of productive work in an 8 hour day.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t need a timer. I don&amp;#x27;t need to develop Pavlovian responses to a mysterious ticking noise. I don&amp;#x27;t want the overhead of &amp;quot;productivity management applications&amp;quot;. I just want to put my hands to work, until the work&amp;#x27;s done, and then do the next thing.&lt;p&gt;[edit:formatting]</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Build a Focus System for Better Work/Life Balance as a Web Developer</title><url>https://raddevon.com/articles/focus-for-better-work-life-balance-as-a-web-developer/</url></story>

In Sweden we have a long tradition of 2 hour work, short coffee break, 2 hour work. Lunchbreak 30-60 minutes, repeat.&lt;p&gt;The long break has to be latest after five hours and is not counted towards working time. You are allowed to leave the workplace.&lt;p&gt;The shorter breaks &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; included in your work time but has no forced length other than it has to be adapted to the workplace and rythm. It can also be 5 minutes every hour. Up to the company. The longer break is supposed to be minimum 30 minutes but I don&amp;#x27;t think that is in the law. Unions usually recommend 60 minutes.&lt;p&gt;Taking a coffee break is almost mandatory, even the boss will look funny at you if you skip it. This is where you talk about the day, plans ahead and other things connected to work or life in general. While of course drinking that all important coffee which is also almost mandatory. This is where most youth learn to drink coffee, at their first job. Most likely learn how to cook it too :-)</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Build a Focus System for Better Work/Life Balance as a Web Developer</title><url>https://raddevon.com/articles/focus-for-better-work-life-balance-as-a-web-developer/</url></story>
