Between Pomodoros

In the Pomodoro Technique, work is timeboxed into interval of 25 minutes. Between two Pomodoros, there is always a small break which lasts up to 5' minutes: here's what I (try as much as possible to) do during the breaks.

A note: this list is valid for short breaks, while they won't fill longer breaks like a 15' one.

• 10 pushups: easy, fast, move your arms and legs after a long period on the chair. Or 10 squats, 10 exercises; you get the idea...
• Refill my water glass from other rooms.
• Check lighting and temperature to make sure there is no glare on the screen, or the windows do not need adjustment.
• Adjust the chair and the position of the screen or the keyboard. 
• Go to the bathroom, also for washing teeth or my face.
• Unpack my bag.
• Check phone for urgent messages (only urgent ones).
• Get up and walk around a bit. Sitting too much tires me.

Here's what I don't do:

• Engage in mental activity, like explicitly solving problems. Although I find that often since my hands cannot use the keyboard my brain starts to work on autopilot on the last Pomodoro's topic.
• Browse the web. I try to rest my eyes and focus.
