According to the ndollarscientist at the University of Cambridge, Mithu Storoni (via inc), The 10 -minute use rule is a great idea to make our brain work effectively.
The brains are not like muscles. If you do physical work, you can just force your muscles until they are tired. In the works in which we depend more on the brain than on muscles, this “more approach is more” is counterproductive. Whenever you need to design something new or solve a problem, you need a more open and relaxed mental state. The simple fact of feeling fighting for long periods leads to frustration, not at Eureka moments.
The way we move can change the form of what we think. By walking, we are still in an alert state, a state in which we see nothing other than along the way (as if we were driving a car). By walking, we can think of new ideas and prevents us from thinking of a single idea. We move in an environment and be careful so as not to fall, This is the ideal moment when new ideas are generated.
