I’ve found that on a hectic workday, I’ll contort myself into a turtle in a corner, not standing up to take a break, not looking away for 20 seconds, EVEN THOUGH I use Pomodoro timers. Found a solution that’s finally working for me: www.dejal.com/timeout/

I’ll see the Time Out break fade in, rather than interrupting my screen entirely, which may lower my resistance to taking a break.

Mental wellness doesn’t have to involve grand gestures. It can start with taking 15 seconds to stretch.
