Actually I have been using a similar technique for the last six months. However 30mins intervals and I only do it on days when I feel tired or unmotivated.

At the end of the period I go for a walk, or on an exercise bike for 5-10 mins. The best part is physically leaving the computer stop the eyes getting tired and drifting into a zombie state of zero productivity.

When I start a session I usually jot down a particular task to work on and review at the end. It does not guarantee productivity, but the short periods with reviews helps keep focus.

Exercise is key! It refreshes mind and body. Unlike watching 132 episodes of How I Met Your Mother.
