Timefall guides

Short, sourced guides about focus, breaks, breathing and meditation.

• Does the Pomodoro Technique work?
  Planned breaks beat breaks taken on a whim for fatigue and focus. But 25 minutes isn’t magic.
• The 52/17 rule and other work-break ratios
  Where 52/17 came from, what it can’t tell you, and what controlled studies say about breaks.
• How long should you meditate each day?
  Thirteen minutes a day for eight weeks improved attention and mood in one study. Why daily matters more than long.
• Box breathing, cyclic sighing and 4-7-8
  Five minutes a day of cyclic sighing beat mindfulness meditation for mood in a 2023 trial.
• Is the human attention span really 8 seconds?
  The goldfish statistic has no solid source. What attention research actually measures.
