15 minutes is extreme, but I find for my own time management I really need artificial interruptions to help me check in with myself and others about with what I’m doing is still a good idea. For instance drinking water and coffee all day, my cup empties, I hit a stopping point, I get up, pump the blood a bit on the trio back and forth to the kitchen, come back. And then an hour later it’s off to the bathroom. The only thing I miss about the office is the routines I haven’t been able to recreate, but I’m still trying. For instance I only fill my glass from the kitchen now instead of using the closer faucet to “save time”.

Having a game eat the battery in two hours might be enough gaming for one sitting. I have a couple games that used to eat my laptop battery in a few hours even when plugged in (60W charging off the monitor) but the new monitor has a bigger power supply, and that can almost keep up with the game. I’ve had a few late nights that I didn’t plan because of it.
