i’ve just been interrupted at work again!!
.. by a terrific little app called “Workrave”, which lets me know when i’ve been sitting Staring at the Screen for Too Long.
After installing the program, you decide how often you want to take breaks, whether you want micro-breaks or just regular ones .. and what’s your time limit for the whole day. You can skip or postpone if you’re really busy, or you can sit back and do the recommended exercises for good office health.
Honestly i prefer to be interrupted by colleagues asking for advice and assistance, but this is a good and timely replacement. Time to go outside and enjoy the rain!
If you want to keep sitting in your chair, the program offers exercise suggestions too.

What do you think? Would you like to be reminded to Take a Break?
