This pretty much did it for me. Mick mentioned taking breaks too and |
| 22 |
maybe others. I installed xfce4-time-out-plugin and left it on the |
| 23 |
default settings of a 5 minute break every 30 minutes and I do believe |
| 24 |
that's what I was missing. I never really took breaks before. Thanks |
| 25 |
to all. |
