Depends on the day, but excluding lunch, usually 2-4 short breaks. My tip is to have a relatively small water bottle, and take a short break to refill it every 1-2ish hours. Keeps you hydrated and on a decent break schedule.
I take a break after finishing a task. What about big tasks? Got no answer to that.
They ~~agent~~ aren't called line breaks for nothing.
That's one of the strangest autocorrects I've seen.
Indeed a weird one.
I try to take lunch at the same time consistently. Sometimes it runs longer or shorter depending on how the day is going. For breaks in between, I don't have a set schedule. I usually take them when I get to the point where the "wheels are spinning" but I'm not getting anywhere. Usually because of some problem that I'm wracking my brain on and I need a fresh perspective. A lot of the toughest ones get solved when I'm not staring at a screen.
Thats my secret, I'm always on break
