## The problem

Hyperfocus feels productive until it does not.

## How Plexii handles it

After 90 minutes of unbroken work, Plexii offers a 3-minute stretch; take it with a timer, or keep going and it waits 30 minutes before asking again.

In short: After a long stretch of work, Plexii offers a three-minute break. Take it, or keep going; it will ask again later.
