> I get all my work done on time, but always feel guilty and incapable for taking so many breaks. You get all your work done on time? Then don't feel guilty. You could be calling in magical fairies to write your code, and they do it because they owe you for that one time you saved their kingdom. Doesn't matter. You're getting done what they pay you to get done. If you take 7 hours of breaks and get the work done in one hour, you got it done when they asked you to. You did the work, you take the pay. You sound like you're feeling guilty for not doing more. But you're doing what you can, and it's enough. [Edit: Looking at your reply to ksnape, you're not only getting your work done, you're one of the few who do? You're outperforming almost everyone else. Route that guilt to /dev/null, take the breaks you need, and keep delivering.] |

Sounds like you are doing better than you think you are. I know CFS is making life hard but your feedback loops might be making it harder. If you work hard and feel like you are failing, that can lead to burnout. Sometimes you need to realize that you're actually doing great. Allow yourself the joy of working hard and feeling good about it.
As for brain fog. I find listening to Binaural Beats with noise cancelling headphones really helps me. Most of my brain fog comes from my inability to ignore the world around and get a good focus on. Distractions cause context switching, context switching causes my memory to get overloaded.
Lots of small breaks help too. Sounds like you're doing that. Small breaks are a good way to refocus don't feel guilty about taking them.
