Understanding the Distinction: Pomodoro Breaks vs. Micro Breaks

In Focus Bear, two distinct break types, Pomodoro breaks and Micro breaks, serve different purposes in optimizing your work routine.

Pomodoro Breaks:

1. Duration: 5 minutes.
   
2. Freedom:  You have the freedom to use any app or website during this break, providing a brief mental recharge before diving back into focused work. It's a versatile break designed to allow you to quickly address any urgent messages or tasks.

Micro Breaks:

1. Customization: Micro breaks are highly customizable. You have the flexibility to specify activities and break frequency according to your preferences (e.g., every 15 minutes). This allows you to tailor your breaks to your specific needs and work style.
   

1. Duration: Ranging from 30 to 90 seconds, Micro breaks are intentionally short to prevent any prolonged distractions. They are designed for quick, rejuvenating activities to promote physical well-being and mental clarity.
   

1. Benefits: Micro breaks are specifically crafted to address physical discomfort and mental fatigue. Incorporating activities like stretching, hydration, and mindful breathing, these brief pauses aim to prevent issues such as neck pain and screen-induced headaches. Additionally, including physical activities like stretching or quick pushups helps maintain energy levels throughout your workday.
   

In summary, Pomodoro breaks offer a brief respite with unrestricted digital access, while Micro breaks are personalized, shorter intervals designed to foster physical well-being and sustained focus. Each break type caters to specific needs in enhancing your overall work experience.
