Don’t forget to relax – a tool helping you spare your body

I’ve been using Workrave for some years now. It reminds me to just ease up the tension in shoulders and arms every ten minutes. It’s a very cool and intelligent tool. For example, if I type or operate the mouse for ten minutes without atleast a 10 second break WorkRave will popup telling me to relax in 10 seconds. Then I can continue working.

Efter 55 minutes the application asks me to walk away for a longer (three minutes) break. A pause I use for relaxing the eyes and neck.

I can highly recommend this tool. But please take som time to configure it after your needs, the default times are a bit too short and can be a bit annoying.
