Comment on How I Force Myself to Take Breaks

Comments

For people who don't need to be actively locked out of their computers in order to have the sense to take a break, but still often forget to take a break for hours:

Search for an 'hourly chime' app on your smartphone, have it go off every hour on the hour with a nice big ben or similar sound.

This works for me, anyway. Most of the time.

Thanks Ryan, such a simple concept, but easily over-looked! Will install it :)

This is a good tip. I think Mac has this built in to the OS.
