From my experience, it's useful when I'm not able to concentrate on a specific task. The feeling of blocking time for a specific task is helpful for my mind to fully focus n that.

Anyway, 25 minutes is just the standard but you can use longer periods. For example, I use blocks os 1 hour where I block all my distractions, knowing that this time is just for that specific duty.
