For me I feel it interrupts my flow and then it's hard to get back into it, but a nice way to adapt it is by setting 20 min timers to check yourself back into writing if you've lost focus, and you can choose if you want a break when the timer goes or if you want to continue

However, it might play as a stressor when it is not properly followed or adapted since early stages

Usually do this just so I don't forget ideas when they come but I often end up with a paragraph that I can just cut down later on

It sounds like a good way to keep reflecting and keep focussed, could be v useful for keeping up momentum if I have to focus on other coursework for a few weeks

Although this strategy can provide some pressure to finish a tark, it can also make people more susceptible to discractions
