Workrave

Download Workrave from www.workrave.org. It’s free. Its great. Its a lifesaver. Workrave is highly customizable stretchbreak software. You can use micro breaks and longer breaks. You can use the animated stretches. I just use the micro breaks mostly. I crank it up or down depending on pain levels. At time of writing I have it set to make me take a break every 5 minutes for 25 seconds.

  • Make sure you block the screen. Your eyes need a break too.
  • Make sure you set it up so you can’t hit cancel.
