Done when

You have tried and assessed a work-and-break interval.

Try a work-and-break interval suited to your circumstances.

Who this is for

For work that can pause; do not push through discomfort or health limitations.

Why this matters

One trial provides information about whether that interval suits the task.

How to do it

An original activity to try, adapt or skip for your circumstances; outcomes are not guaranteed.

  1. Choose a task and a trial period that does not conflict with urgent duties.
  2. Set a manageable timer, work, and pause or stop when needed.
  3. Record whether the interval felt too long or short and adjust the next attempt.
