What is the optimal block of time for focused work? I have been using a variation of the pomodoro plan, working for 25 minutes and then taking a 5 minute standing break. But I am not completely satisfied with this approach. Sometimes, I find it hard to pull myself away from a project when my timer goes off. On the other hand, I am worried about the dangers of too much sitting and anything beyond 25 minutes seems too long.

I am curious to know if readers have opinion or advice about this?
