If every break must make you more productive, rest becomes another assignment. Put aside the question of what the pause will earn. Drink some water, look away from the screen or sit somewhere comfortable. Responsibilities do not disappear, but they need not occupy every minute. Right effort concerns the quality of what we cultivate, not endless activity. You may return to a task afterwards; you may also realise that a commitment needs adjusting. Neither outcome makes the break a failure.
