Started timing my 15 minute desk stretches with a kitchen timer and my afternoon slump went away

I set a cheap $8 kitchen timer on my desk at work in Dayton and started doing 3 short stretch breaks before lunch instead of one long one. My 3pm crash basically disappeared by the second week, which I did not expect at all. My neck feels less knotty too, and my boss noticed I stopped rubbing my shoulders in meetings. Has anyone else tried splitting breaks up like this, and did it actually stick for you?
