I love this concept and have been implementing it (though did not call it intermission) with my piano practice for years. Instead of, say, an hour a day of practice, I do half an hour or less take a break (and sometimes a long break) and then do the other half. I also try to remember to do it with my writing and, like the half of a movie, I take a break from it for a whole overnight. Thanks for helping me think of other ways to take an intermission.

Yes! I often find that your brain subconsciously absorbs the practice when you walk away from the piano. Sleeping on it seems to REALLY work
