Pro tip: That 10 minute pomodoro break is actually a design reset

I read something last Thursday from a UX guy named Sam who said he treats breaks like a browser cache clear for the brain. At first I thought it was just productivity talk, but I tried it during a nasty logo iteration. Instead of scrolling my phone, I walked to the coffee machine and stared out the window for a full 10 minutes, no screens. When I came back, the kerning issue I'd been fighting for 2 hours just looked obvious, like the letters were practically shouting at me. I've done this every afternoon for the last 5 days and my output feels cleaner, fewer 'undo' commands, less second guessing. Has anyone else tried a strict no-phone break and noticed a real difference in their visual judgment?
