| Jun 14, 2013 at 8:49 | comment | added | grizwako | Is it normal that going to bathroom does not disrupt my flow? I mean, i go to drink some water, wife says, you just drank 15 mins ago when you went to bathroom. My reaction was something like 'Yeah,i am just thirsty, but I did not go to bathroom'. Her reaction: "Yes, you did, you had crazy eyes again". | |

| Mar 17, 2011 at 22:07 | comment | added | Andrew Grimm | Zed Shaw: "Go to the ****ing bathroom right when you have to go. Don't wait.", so some people are resisting urges they shouldn't be. | |

| Oct 7, 2010 at 19:04 | comment | added | gablin | True, provided that I remember about it. Which I'm sure I won't without having an additional interrupt like a timer or the like. | |
| Oct 7, 2010 at 14:22 | comment | added | Frank Shearar | It forces you to get out of your chair. That pause in programming is the space you have to look at your watch and decide whether or not it's time to stop for the night. It acts directly against the "lose track of time" property of Flow. | |

| Oct 7, 2010 at 4:40 | comment | added | Kyralessa | Diet soda with caffeine works well too, as it's mostly water, and the caffeine only increases those certain urges. | |

| Oct 6, 2010 at 19:13 | comment | added | gablin | Yes, I should drink more water. The only problem is, I would only forget about it while coding. Maybe if I combine this with Levi Hackwith's answer... | |
