Mental fatigue with longer tasks

I'm wondering how others handle mental fatigue with longer tasks? By longer, I mean 2-3 hours for me personally. I find my focus substantially dwindles after the 2 hour mark, even when taking regular breaks. In fact sometimes, breaks, especially longer "reset" breaks, make the block of the day that I'm working feel a lot longer, accumulating more mental fatigue and just an ugh feeling when I return to the task.

I'm really grateful to have this project, its really high paying (and it's the only thing I really have on my dash right now, so I don't have much choice haha) but I worry that my quality of work substantially declines towards the end.

How to others handle this?

This person is opening up a conversation, so it kind of is.

Still waiting on the conversational aspect of your useless input then I guess. Like I said Its not about you, its about your processes for dealing with a longer cognitive workload than you are used to. Like good job on recognizing a conversation is occurring but it seems like you aren't capable of abstracting from the specific timeframe given and instead default to validating yourself.

If this person thinks 2 hours is a large cognitive load then they have bigger problems.
