I use a software called Time Out.

It gives you ten second micro breaks every ten minutes, and ten minute breaks every hour.

But sometimes I skip my breaks

I think it may be a Mac-specific thing, but here ya go!

Thanks, but - although I have an iPhone - my computers are PCs.

There are plenty of others, probably more for PC in fact.

I think they are a really good idea, and the fact that I skip my breaks tells you how much I probably need them. I keep trying to follow them, but they literally interrupt me 40 times a day

I was skipping some before, but I find that this makes it less of a chore.

Hey Ace, just wanted to mention I have been using this since you posted it this morning and it has really broken up my day and kept my energy level up. I spend a lot of time reading and writing for school and work (and the org, tee hee) so this really was clever and I'd never thought of such a thing. Thanks!

I'm sure you all know that extended monitor-gazing can damage your eyesight. I recently heard about the site below and have been using it! Beats continually restarting your cell timer :

thank you

My pleasure. I really fucking needed this. I stare at monitors so much that I find myself rubbing crust out of my eyes in my sleep. Gotta try those artificial tears again!

So this one is only every 20 minutes? That might be better, especially if I don't skip them!

You can go 20-20-20, 60-5, or a scheme of your choosing.
