>You barely have enough time to get into a good flow.
Yea you shouldn't be. You should be self-critiquing and like you said, analyze what you're doing as you do it. Getting too into the zone means you stop paying as much attention (ESPECIALLY TO TIME) and lean on crutches and habits.
Switching tasks allows you step away from the piece and look at it again with fresh eyes WITHOUT entirely stopping work. You get more done, in less time. Even if each INDIVIDUAL piece is done slower on a day-basis, you are still completing the same amount of work. It's just in parallel rather than in series.
This also ALSO helps prevent those situaitons where you get "stuck" and burn time staring at things not knowing how to progress it. You can showerthoughts-out some solutions to the first piece while working on a different one, and the problems you solve on the other artworks can indirectly give you better solutions for what you encounter on the first one.
I know that this is entirely contrary to how a lot of people believe art "should work" but reality it's just healthier overall. And by "a break" I mean 30 seconds to 5 minutes at most. The time it takes to change what you're working on or get up to piss. A lot of retards will think "a break" means "I am going to go check twitter or play 1 round of a videogame" when it really just means a short breather (reminds me bit like how "a nap" is actually only up to 15 minutes, you do not fall into REM sleep for a nap, that's just sleeping poorly at the wrong time)
