Neurons are chemical factories and if you think too hard for a prolonged period of time, the chemical balance of parts of them seems to be affected. It feels like they are inflamed.

I not only take breaks throughout the day, I even take breaks for weeks or months, when I feel, it is needed (and I can afford it).

It feels, like all the inflammations have to heal first. And then I am back to my old efficiency.

I don't need and don't want to think about any related problems at my break time. After the healing period, everything is sorted out by itself.

But sadly, many people can not afford it or don't dare it, because they fear to lose or miss something. Or have the feeling of being irreplaceable.
And that leads to chronic mental blocks.

Just my observations.

I can even take care of totally different problems during my break time.
It is just about the neurons that have been part of an enormous effort. They need to rest or they will clog.

The memories of all the wrong tries need to be "digested". Like slime mold finding its way through a maze. The good parts get stronger while the meandering parts thin out more and more. You don't need to do anything. Just watch. The work has been done in the months before, while constructing the maze.

It needs time, until the slime mold optimized the pathway. If you continue to change the maze again and again, the slime mold will never find its way and will wither away, when all nutrients are used.
