Why does nobody talk about setting a hard 'no work' hour on your calendar, even when you're swamped?
I mean, I blocked out 4pm to 5pm last Tuesday as 'closed' and actually stuck to it, which felt impossible, but I ended up taking a walk and coming back to solve a problem that had me stuck all morning.

Honestly, it just sounds like making a simple choice. If you're truly swamped, you probably need the time to actually work, not block it off. That walk could have just been ten minutes away from your desk, not a whole scheduled hour. It feels like overthinking a basic break.

Ten minutes? My last walk took an hour!

Scheduled breaks are the only way they actually happen for some people. The whole point is to force yourself to stop working when you'd otherwise just grind nonstop. Calling it overthinking just misses why people need to do it in the first place. It's not about the walk, it's about making a rule you can't break.
