The most commonly asked question about the 20-20-20 rule is: "Do I need to switch back to [[normalized]] every time I shift focus, for a break?"

The answer is: whatever you wish. However, it would make your life easier if you kept the [[focal plane]] you are already using, be it [[differentials]] or nothing depending on where you are in your journey, for breaks under 5 minutes. If you are taking a much recommended longer break; this is a good time to switch to [[normalized]], in order to ensure you are not trading close up strain for excessive blur strain.
