Hello,
A few days ago, I discussed with a friend whether pomodoro breaks should be included in the working hours.
I disagree because I find myself more productive when taking breaks, so I do a better job.
I usually work work 50 minutes with 10 minute breaks, so in 8 hours, there are 80 minutes for breaks (approx 1 hour and 20 minutes).
What's your opinion about this?
LE: a bit of context:
I am currently working with a colleague that only takes lunch breaks for 30 minutes. We are working together, so there are times he can't work without me, and vice-versa.
At the end of the day, I feel exhausted and can't do anything for myself. On Saturday I needed more than half a day just to start thinking again. I'm just like a plant.
That's why I try to implement the pomodoro, at least for me, and don't know if I should work more if I take those breaks.
