Dont try to interrupt me during that time, because i simply wont acknowledge anyone. Thats MY time.
Then i take a 10 minute break, grab something to drink, go the bathroom whatever. Then i do another 50 minute cycle. |
I have one of these but how do you concentrate ? I will set the timer for 50 min, write code for 15 min then check GFY for 10 min and that 10 turns into 40 min and next I know i have spent 80% of that 50 min surfing GFY
