Linked – Why you should never work longer than 90 minutes at a time
In response to this information, and in an effort to better understand productivity, Florida State University Professor K. Anders Ericsson and his colleagues studied “elite performers,” folks who excelled in their field, whether they were musicians, athletes, or chess players. Ericsson discovered that uninterrupted practice in intervals of 90 minutes or less, with breaks in between sessions, worked best for maximizing productivity. Also, he noted that these folks rarely worked more than four-and-a-half hours in a given day.
There are some important implications for this 90 minute rule when it comes to classroom training as well, though I doubt anyone is going to let us call 4.5 hours a “full” day of training any time soon. 😉
