but there are the countless fika breaks.

At every company in Sweden I've worked the number was exactly 2 @ 15 minutes each.

When I worked in manual labour (warehouses etc) that was certainly the case but in a white-collar job it is much less structured in my experience, we may have a formal fika once a week or just informal coffee breaks every now and then.

Fika IS important to productivity though! Morale boosting if nothing else.

Being Swedish, this sounds about right to me.
