Why work less for 80 minutes a day but become more productive by 21% ?
That is because the 50/10 technique tells the brain to stay focused for 100% without being interrupted by your own desire to see notifications or distract your attention to silly things. This means that you will have 50 minutes to concentrate on the task in your hands !
After work hard for 50 minutes, it's time to get your brain relaxed for 10 minutes to do whatever you want to do like view notifications, sliding Facebook, see videos on YouTube or take a walk.
These will maximize your productivity in the next work hour.
In a real work situation, If you have done your works on time with acceptable quality, even if you take a 30-minute break, no one is going to blame you, right?
Although, you are unable to take a break for 10 minutes in every hour. At least, you should realize that taking a break directly improves your productivity and creativity. Let's try to apply to better your day !
