Hi all,
After spending hours building models, crunching numbers, and staring at charts, my brain often starts lagging before my code does. So I’ve started sprinkling in micro-breaks with light browser games to reset focus without going full distraction mode.
What I look for in a break game:
Very short play sessions (2-5 minutes max)
Minimal loading / instant play
Low cognitive demand — nothing that requires full focus
Visual simplicity (so it doesn’t blast your eyes after numbers)
Some games I’ve tried: memory match (flip tiles), pattern sequence puzzles, quick logic challenges. Even just a minute or two helps me come back to modelling with fresher perspective.
I’d love to hear:
Do you do the same?
Which browser games (or micro-games) have you found particularly helpful during long data/modeling sessions?
