Giving attention to details is a good thing but if you don't move forward then it becomes a waste of time.

If you really want to save time then you need to take breaks between tasks.
Taking breaks refreshes you and removes mental blocks.

When you do this, you can finish the job at hand with fresh energy and vision.

So, even though it may seem like a waste of time, taking breaks actually helps you to complete the task well in time.
