If you spend too much time at the computer, the consequences will not take long to appear. I did a little research on the Internet and made a list of diseases associated with long-term work at the computer: deterioration of vision, carpal tunnel syndrome, osteochondrosis, obesity, impotence, prostatitis, hemorrhoids, stress, allergies . And the list is far from complete...
What is the point of this conversation? Just to start a note somehow . I have no doubt that most of the visitors to the MSB have already heard something similar and if they felt any anxiety, it was not for long. This is a property of the human brain - "not to worry about trifles".
Meanwhile, according to statistics, about 70% of avid shopify website design computer users sooner or later encounter one of the above-mentioned diseases. Then, after the rhetorical question “why me?” comes the second one “why was I such a fool?”
As you know, it is easier to prevent a disease than to treat it later. And when working with a computer, most advice on prevention comes down to one thing - take breaks more often. This is what we will do. And the computer itself will help us with this, of course . More precisely, the program running on it. Thanks to the MSB reader named Alexander for the "tip" to the program.
Workrave is a program that regularly reminds the computer user about necessary breaks for rest. Periodically (the time depends on the settings) a window pops up on the computer screen with an offer to rest. If the user does not use this advice, sanctions will follow - the mouse and keyboard will be blocked.
During installation, Workrave adds itself to the list of applications loaded when the operating system starts. All subsequent work with the program occurs through the tray icon and pop-up windows. The multilingual interface (including Russian) allows you to easily understand how Workrave works.
The program settings allow you to set the duration of pauses (they come in two types - mini-rest and break), as well as a daily limit on work at the computer:
Mini-rests are short (about 30 seconds) pauses in work designed to go get a drink of water or just stretch:
Breaks are less frequent - approximately once an hour. During the break, you can do simple physical exercises:
Statistics are kept for all parameters. It can be accessed, as well as other menu items, by right-clicking on the Workrave icon in the system tray:
Workrave can also be used to restrict work on computers in a local network, and you can choose which computers to monitor:
I'll be honest - the default settings may be very useful, but you have to be away from the computer too often
. I had to increase the time between mini-breaks a little, while increasing their duration. Overall, the program is very interesting.
By the way, I noticed another “undocumented benefit” of Workrave — you start to value your time. Frequent breaks discourage you from wasting it on all sorts of entertainment sites and encourage you to use it more effectively. Here you go!
