Aim for short breaks every 45–60 minutes instead of pushing through for several hours without moving.

Last 7 Days

Once you’ve used the reminder for a few days, you’ll see how consistently you take breaks.

Break Ideas

  • Stand up, stretch your shoulders, neck, and wrists for 1–2 minutes.
  • Look away from the screen and focus on something 20+ meters away (20‑20‑20 rule).
  • Walk around or get a glass of water to reset your posture and energy.
  • Use a break to quickly assess whether you’re still working on the right task.
Benefits

Why Take Regular Breaks?

Short, intentional breaks help you protect your body, reset your focus, and sustain performance over long days — without burning out.

Reduce Eye & Neck Strain

Micro‑breaks lower the risk of headaches, dry eyes, and stiffness from long computer sessions.

Maintain High Focus

Stepping away briefly helps you return to work with more clarity and less mental fatigue.

Build Sustainable Routines

Turn healthy breaks into a consistent habit instead of only pausing when you’re already exhausted.

Support Team Well‑Being

Encourage a culture where breaks are normal, not a sign of slacking — especially for remote and hybrid teams.
