while this may be good for physical state, at least with me it
throws me away from "zone", and I need from 10 to 30 minutes to
get back to work. not even "to full-speed work", but "just to
work". and second or third such distraction puts me to "meh,
I'm done today".
I'll have to agree. If I get interrupted 3 or more times in
short succession (be it the cats insisting I put more food down,
scratching at the door, phone calls, or someone asking me to get
them a glass of water because they don't feel like getting up)
I'm ready to call it quits for the day.
I don't really think I can stand to sit in one spot for as long
as 40 minutes anyways. Maybe my chairs are too flat, but I end up
shifting quite often or going to get a drink of water when I feel
like it, rather than a mandatory every 60 minutes. I'll then
wander for several minutes before finally going back to my chair.
Being forced to reset or press play on a CD player is just an
annoyance, I'm more likely to put it on auto-repeat, as I can
listen to the same album several times or the same song for a few
hours straight before I need to change it.
There's always the possibility you won't notice the music
stopped either and go for another half hour or an hour before you
realize it, especially when you're in the groove.
